The first game sees the Dominicans against Valley Nets of Union Island coached by Kennedy Straker. That game is scheduled for Friday, November 12 at 8 p.m.

Saturday, November 13, the Dominicans play the Bequia All-Stars (coached by Junior Sutton). This is set for 9:30 p.m. and all indications are that this will be a keen contest.

This invitational series comes on the request of Dave Baron, president of the Dominica Amateur Basketball Association (DABA). He requested a venue and challengers to give his young team regional experience.

Secretary-general of the Caribbean Confederation, Sabrina Mitchell, also president of the Bequia Association, responded and this has been the result.

Saturday night will also see a women’s basketball game with Trotman’s Celebrity challenging the Bequia Liberty. This game is scheduled for 7:30 pm.
