Rebound Head Quarters - After several weeks of talks about when it will start, Thome Cabalan Annual Memorial tournament has finally come. The 10-day packed tourney takes off tomorrow at Lebanon House. Tip off is at 2pm between Reformers(of the Ghana Prison's Service) and Holy Family (Mataheko based side).

The tournament is played annually in remembrance of the man who donated the Lebanon hose facility to be used for the development of sports especially basketball in the country.

For the great thing Thome Halim Cabalan has done for us hoop heads, we hope and wish his soul continues to rest in the bosom of the Creator.
Thome.....Rest In Peace!!!

MY PROBLEM WITH OUR ORGANIZERS IS 1.WHY CANT WE BRING ALL THE SERVICE TEAMS FROM CEPS TO FIRE, REFORMERS AND THE REST. CONTRIBUTE ATLEAST ONE MILLIONS CEDIS EACH TO PAINT LEBANON HOUSE AND THE REST OF THE TEAM THAT DID NOT CONTRIBUTE MONEY COME THERE VOLUNTARILY TO CLEAN UP.RIGHT FROM THE TOILET TO U NAME IT.ITS NOT ABOUT MONEY PUT YOUR EFFORT BRING YOUR MIND TOGETHER YOU KNOW.
