This year\u2019s edition of the championship, set to unfold at the Massacre Indoor Sports Complex in St. Paul\u2019s, promises an exciting display of Caribbean basketball, bringing together top-tier talent from Guyana, Dominica and Guadeloupe.
\nThe field includes Dominica\u2019s D-Treads Blazers and 767-SC Dominators, along with Guadeloupe\u2019s USR Basket and GCB, in addition to the Guyanese representatives.<\/p>\n
At a symbolic presentation held ahead of the teams\u2019 departure, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Charles Ramson Jr., praised the legacy and leadership of both clubs in Guyana\u2019s basketball history.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Ministry is proud to support this journey,\u201d Minister Ramson stated. \u201cWe felt compelled to go beyond what was initially asked, because this is more than just basketball; this is about nation-building through sport. Eagles and Ravens have long been ambassadors of Guyanese basketball, and we trust they\u2019ll represent our country well both on and off the court.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eagles Head Coach, Adrian Hooper, expressed gratitude on behalf of the club, describing the Ministry\u2019s swift action as a major morale booster.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re extremely thankful to Minister Ramson and the Ministry for their prompt and meaningful support,\u201d Hooper stated. \u201cThis assistance also energizes the team and shows us that our efforts are valued.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Saturday at 7:00 pm, Eagles face a key clash against Guadeloupe\u2019s GCB, while Ravens return to action on Sunday night in a must-win battle against USR Basket, also at 7:00 pm.<\/p>\n
