Basketball suspends ALL matches until further notice

The Gibraltar Amateur Basketball Association has confirmed that all basketball matches in Gibraltar will be suspended as from tomorrow until the end of the Easter break .
Basketball has become the first sport in Gibraltar to announce the measures. It follows a decision by the international governing body FIBA in which it has called on matches to be suspended.
The decision by FIBA is to be acted upon by GABBA. Local officials, although disappointed that such a decision had to be taken were fully supportive and indicated that they would be enforced in Gibraltar.
A decision on whether to continue with matches will be taken on April 6th depending on the present situation.
All league matches across all the categories will be suspended until further notice, confirmed GABBA President John Goncalves.
