Express out of ABBA Division One
By Carlena Knight
Former Champions in the Antigua Barbuda
Basketball Association, Big Banana
Express have been removed from the 2017
division one line up after forfeiting two
straight games.
This decision was made by the executive
body of ABBA who met last weekend and
decided upon the matter.
Express, who hail from the Grays Green
community have struggled in recent years
but made their return last season to division
one with a number of former players returning
to the club.
Just as times before, they could not salvage
a strong core of players to maintain
their position in the association’s top division.
With their removal, only 9 teams remain
in the top flight.
Willikies continues to lead the pack
that left Police at the loosing
end once again of a 2-nil
scoring.
