Last night at the Lindo Park in first game of the invitational basketball tournament between Dominica National Basketball team and the Big Banana Express of Antigua fans got the opportunity to see the Dominica Team in Action.
While being over matched in size and manpower the Express team put on a show that anyone would be proud off, the game remain close . Every time the Dominica team would take a 10 point lead Express came roaring back with some great 3 point shooting by Antigua national team player Marlon Charles. But the experience play of Johnny Alfred on the inside kept Dominica in the lead.
Final scores was Dominica 75 points to Big Banana Express 62 points. See below for score board:
Dominica
Bernard Mills – 5 rebounds, 5 steals and 6 assist
