Kares Engineering/Bushy Park Sawmills/GSL 10/10 tapeball bringing the vibes

 

By Edison Jefford
The GT&T softball tournament came and went; the Hits and Jams Master’s Cup T20 tournament came and went; now it is time for every cricket fan from every village, and town, across Guyana prepare to usher in the Super Eight round of ultimate tapeball cricket challenge.
Kares Engineering/Bushy Park Sawmills and the Guyana Softball League (GSL) 10/10 challenge will be definitely bringing the vibes from this weekend with the Super Eight round of the nationwide competition in Georgetown. It’s down to the real deal cricket addicts.
The best teams from across Guyana will play for places in the Final Four this weekend, and after weeks of intense rivalries with teams chasing the whopping $1M first place award, it is relatively an easy guess that the competition this weekend will be awesome.
As in any big tournament, big teams and big names make the competition even fiercer. All those top names and teams have made it to the penultimate round. Now it is a question of them pulling all stops to ensure that they move one step closer to the money.
Make no mistake about it. The Kares Engineering/Bushy Park Sawmills and the Guyana Softball League 10/10 cricket tournament is the biggest tapeball contest to ever hit Guyana. The event has made history in the local sports fraternity with its magnitude.
The Pitbulls, a side that resembles the 2011 Hits and Jams T20 Masters Cup runner-ups, will be in action this weekend. This team has all the cricketing attitudes of the species of dog that carry a similar name; they are brutally fierce and uncaring of opposition.
In fact, The Pitbulls just threaten to tear apart any team in their path with raw power-hitting when they take the crease, and clinical bowling. They will depend on none other than West Indies’ T20 player, Christopher Barnwell, Jamal Hinckson and Gajanand Singh to get the job done with the bat.
West Indies’ newcomer, Derwin Christian, whose call-up to the West Indies’ T20 side was made public yesterday, is also a part of the Pitbulls team. In the bowling department, Trevor Benn will be attempting to keep things intact when the opposition holds the bat.
The Pitbulls was defeated in the final of the Hits and Jams T20 Masters Cup, and guess what; their familiar foes are also through to the Super Eight in the Kares Engineering/Bushy Park Sawmills and GSL 10/10 tournament.
Albion has also set itself on a collision course to renew the Georgetown vs. Berbice rivalry in the local cricket fraternity. Albion also boast a strong team with the Chattergoon brothers, Sewnarine and Ramnarine and Jonathan Foo leading the batting prowess.
West Indies spin sensation Devendra Bishoo, Veersammy Permaul and Narsingh Deonarine are all part of a formidable force coming out of the Albion Community Centre Ground in Berbice. It is therefore no doubt that cricket fans are in for a treat, beginning this weekend.
But as in any sport, there is always scope for upsets. These are just two of the teams, and some of big names who will be playing in the Super Eight round of the competition. There are another six teams in the round that will decide the best-of-the-best in tapeball cricket.
The runner-up in the male category, following the final on September 4 at the National Stadium, will pocket $500,000. The winning female team get $500,000 while the most valuable players in each category will ride away with a scooter for their efforts.
