Last weekend organizers of the Village Basketball league were forced to postpone scheduled games to this Friday and Saturday, August 10 and 11.
The decision was taken due to heavy rainfall on Friday evening and the annual Cudjoe Head Day celebration on Saturday. According to organizers, in light of these circumstances, the best decision was to postpone and allow the games to run as normal the following week.
This Friday, the first game is scheduled to kick-off with Cudjoe Head Renegades against MSS, then Davy Hill Ghetto Stars against Lookout Shooters in the second game.
