VALLEY, Virgin Gorda, VI – Showing much fitness and endurance despite their age made for a keen and competitive game of quality basketball when VG Mystics and NW Surfers of Tortola clashed in a 40 plus affair basketball encounter at the Jeffrey Caines Arena in Virgin Gorda on Saturday October 5, 2013.

His team members Franklyn Penn scored 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal while Bobb George recorded 6 points, 4 assists and 1 steal.
