The meeting between the National Basketball Gendarmerie (GNBC) and the National Police Omnisport Club (COSPN) was eagerly awaited on Wednesday at the Palais des Sports. A derby which marks the celebration of the 45th anniversary of Bayard Razafindralambo. The Gendarmes confirmed their hegemony by winning against their main rival in the N1A championship with a score of 76 to 46. However, this match kept its promises in terms of spectacle. The supporters who came in large numbers to honor this day of commemoration appreciated the duel of enemy brothers like Elly and Livio. In the clash between the two University teams, the UMAGIS team showed itself to be very dangerous, one month before the 10e edition of the Smatch’in tournament. The reigning champion beat the UCM team with a score of 62 to 45. Dream Team SC restored the image of its coach Bay, because the U22 boys were crowned champions of the inter-season tournament by winning against those of AMBB with a score of 74 to 70. Ditto for the veterans, DTSC defeated Manakes by the smallest of margins 31-30. In the women’s match, JEA Vakinankaratra defeated Lucadro by 45 to 31. Coach Bay was overwhelmed with joy during this unforgettable day, especially when he presented the jubilee trophies to the winners. The presence of numerous supporters testifies that his 45 years of dedication to the world of basketball have had a great impact on the discipline. To end the celebration in style, a lunch dance will be organized this Saturday, February 10 at the Cercle Mess Militaire Fiadanana.
