T & T Boys reach first finals

 

   

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, December 12, 2015 - Captain unstoppable Marlon Philip scored an impressive 31 points to see Trinidad & Tobago create history by making the finals of the CAZOVA Junior championships at the Wildey Gymnasium in Bridgetown.

 

T&T defeated Curaçao 25-20, 25-21, 25-22 with Philip blasting the ball from every area of the court.  Shruendy Valeriano tried to lift his team with 17 points but the task was too much as he could not get enough support to blunt Philip.

 

Coach Gideon Dickson was thrilled that his inexperienced team had created history of reaching the finals for the first time.  "At this stage I am just thrilled with what my boys have achieved.  I cannot say who we would like to play in the finals.

 

"We took care of the French, the Spanish and Dutch. We have not dealt with the English force, Barbados, so we shall see what must be done in Sunday's finals," said Dickson.
