Meanwhile, the Guyana Softball League executives met with the teams and other persons involved totaling over 200 persons and the inter action was described as very fruitful for both the people of Essequibo and the Guyana Softball League in which a number of issues were addressed in order to move the county softball cricket forward.
The issues addressed were the representation for the use of the better grounds so that the level of softball cricket can improve; another issue was transportation and the organizing of matches in all areas so they can benefit from these matches.
The Guyana Softball League Second Vice president Mr. Dev Hira implored the people to make good use of these tournaments as a means to raise funds for their clubs and teams and thus limit the burden of transportation on the teams.
The people were informed of the upcoming tournaments which will take them to the end of the year and to encourage others to form themselves into teams so as to make the best of these opportunities to unite and live in harmony through these tournaments.
