The Guyana Basketball Federation (GBF) officially announced their four member squad that will compete in the Women’s 3×3 Championship at the impending Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games in San Salvador, El Salvador from June 30th-July2nd.
This was confirmed by an official release from the federation.
According to the correspondence, the team will comprise overseas based Ruth Adams who competes in Spain’s second division professional league with Miralvalle, as well as the local cadre of Kennesha Leacock, Shania Sears and Kristy Thomas.
The locally based contingent was selected following their exploits at the recently staged National Women’s 3×3 Championship. The coordinator of the team will be Abdullah ‘Zico’ Hamid.
GBF President Michael Singh stated that he is elated that Adams opted to represent the Golden Arrowhead, noting that while other overseas based players were contacted and eager to participate, scheduling conflicts impeded that possibility.
He further said that the association is committed to developing the women’s game through international exposure.
The GBF plans to stage several events and matches, as part of the team’s preparatory phase for the championship.
