Tipping off this weekend's triple-header, the Western Basketball Association (WBA) Men's and Female Basketball Leagues at the Montego Bay Cricket Club Multi-purpose court, fan will see the relegated Bay City Lions (formerly Snipers) will open against Negril Power Rangers at 4:00pm. We are yet to see the teams play and won't be sure what to expect since their unit's makeup has changed.

City Knights aim to go three in a row

The nightcap will pit the Men's Basketball Association leader - City Knights going into battle with second-placed Trelawny Tornadoes at 7:00pm. Both teams are coming off impressive victories last week and will be out to continue their run of good form in this one.

The Knights put together their second straight victory last week after demolishing Marchtown Spartans 106-41 and Negril Power Rangers insisted in forfeiting their appointment with them. Meanwhile, the Tornadoes, playing their first match of the season comprehensively spanked the Spartans by a 23 point victory.

City Knights will be led in this game by Omroy Kerr who, along with Gavin Brown and Jhuan Bryan off the bench will anchor their attack. For the Tornadoes, their game MVP of last round Fitzroy Gordon will help lead the way, along with contributions from Diego Hines.

Ballers ready for Lady Avalanche

In the second game of the evening, Innercity Lady Avalanche will be aiming to extend their record to two straight, but they will first have to overcome the powerful defending WBA Female Basketball League champions the Unique Ballers of Trelawny.

Both teams meet after wining their first games, Unique Ballers bounced Mobay Pacers 60-19 and Lady Avalanche knocked off Naldi Knights 37-29 last Saturday to setup the matchup of the unbeatens.

Unique will be relying on the tandem duo - Tracy-Ann Kelly and Zandria Dell. On the other hand, Lady Avs will hope that Nicole Dias will recapture her good form and Ladonna Lamonth remain just as reliable.
