Catherine Hall All-stars will this evening seek to wrap up the Flow National Basketball League-West title when they take a one-nil lead into Game Two of their best-of-three final against Granville Jaguars at the Montego Bay Cricket club, starting at 7:00 pm.

Catherine Hall won last week's first game of the rain-affected series 60-53 and a win tonight would give them their first title since the 2008 Western Conference's Men's Basketball Championships.

Granville Jaguars were the regular season winners however, and are expected to put up a serious challenge today as they seek to maintain their hopes of staying in the race for top honours.

Despite losing twice to Catherine Hall, Jaguars have the firepower to win on any given day and will be led by Huwayne Blake, Dave Black, Leroy Lawrence and Ivaughn Lee.

In Game One, despite an uneven start, Catherine Hall managed to get in gear with three players Goyan Malcolm, Kurt Dorman and Marvin Powell all scoring in double figures with Jermaine Rerrie hauling down 27 rebounds.

Catherine Hall will also have the edge on defence with big men Dorman and Rerrie having the advantage over Lawrence, Ryan Harrison and Blake.
