favourites when they shoot for a championship berth at 8.15 tonight in
the 2010 Yong Sok Cup at the Kampung Baru basketball court in Seria.
Boasting of Barracudas players Esmond Tan, Presley Ho, Xavier Fong and Lim Aik Hock, the team are aiming for a second straight final appearance after
winning the BBA Open Challenge Trophy 83-77 against the Ilonggo Stingers
last month.
But the squad mentored by Wong Yee Chai, who served as assistant coach of the Barracudas, are up against an equally-talented Team Wayne, who will be spearheaded by Filipino tandem Geve Leones and Majomar Aying. Plaza Sutera Biru are beaming with confidence after beating Primeland Estate Agency 70-51 with only five players last Friday. The win allowed them to top Group A.
"It is a big game for us. It is going to be tough since they are a mixture of
local players and not a whole Filipino team. They should get enough support from the rest," said Tan, the captain of Plaza Sutera Biru, in an interview with The Brunei Times, yesterday.
"We also haven't had any training session since last week but we should be alright by executing our plays in the previous games," added Tan, who is from

The last time Plaza Sutera Biru met the Filipinos was at the BBA Open Challenge Trophy where they played NBT but lost 80-63.
"We were quite a new team then but now after playing more games, we have settled down. We know what we have to do and that is to cover their fastbreaks," exlained Tan.
"But I believe that the team have got the stamina to cope with them and we should be able to handle their set plays," said the 26-year-old Tan. Read More...
