TT U-18s win in Carib b-ball
TRINIDAD and Tobago Under-18 basketballers were looking for their second win of the tournament as they faced Antigua and Barbuda at the University of The West Indies Sports and Physical Education Centre, St Augustine Campus, yesterday. The local girls on the other hand were still hoping to get their first win of the tournament, as they squared-off with Barbados at the same venue from 6 pm. The girls encounter was the first match of a double header and it followed another at 8 pm with the boys in red, white and black. Only Sunday evening the Trinidad and Tobago boys got the better of the Barbadians 65-52 in a crucial contest.

The local girls then beatenby the Virgin Islands 61-54, a results which left the Trinidadians desperate for a win after three games in the tournament. Earlier yesterday morning, the Bahamas boys took advantage of a weak St Kitts/ Nevis outfit in the opening game of the third round to romp to an 73-51 victory, to keep on the heels of leaders US Virgin Islands. The Puerto Rican girls also made light work of Bahamas 88-55 in another early game yesterday, while the US Virgin Islands humiliated a winless Jamaica 76-40.
