Trophy Stall, FK Angels, Success Masters reign supreme
Trophy Stall, Fazal Kayume’s (FK) Angels and Success Masters were the respective winners of The Regal Stationery and Computer Centre (RSCC)/Guyana Softball League (GSL) organised three-tier Nationwide Softball Competition which concluded on Sunday last with three finals, at the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) ground, Queenstown.
After an enthralling day of cricket, inaugural GT&T 10/10 champions Trophy Stall emerged winners of the Male Open competition; Success Masters won the Over-35 Male division; and Fazal Kayume’s Angels carted off the Female Open title.
In the Male Open championship game, Trophy Stall thrashed South Stars XI of Linden by eight wickets in the 10-over affair.
Sent in to bat after losing the toss, South Stars XI were dismissed for a measly 48 from just seven overs with eventual Man-of-the-Match, Ramnarine Latchman, returning remarkable figures of 3-6 from two miserly overs. Fazal Rafeek and Randy Katwaroo supported with two wickets apiece.

In reply, Trophy Stall blazed to victory, reaching 50-2 from 5.1 overs to be the recipient of the $100,000 first prize and trophy. South Stars XI had to settle for the runner-up prize of $40,000.
In the Over-35 final, Success Masters secured a six-wicket win over Better Hope to take the $100,000 top prize and trophy. Better Hope took first strike and managed to post a challenging 146-8 from the allotted 20 overs, but that proved to be insufficient.
Success Masters’ run chase was made easy through a second wicket partnership of 101 between Hakeem Majeed and Vijay Baljit. Majeed led the way with 55, while Baljit made 51 as Success coasted to 147-4 from 18.2 overs.
For their effort, the Better Hope men collected $40,000.
The Female Open final was also keenly contested with FK Angels inflicting a seven-wicket defeat on All Star Conquerors of Linden.
Batting first, All Stars Conquerors posted 82-4 from 10 overs to which FK Angels responded with 83-3 with exactly two overs to spare. Vanessa Choonoo starred with bat and ball for the champions, taking two wickets and hitting an unbeaten 24. For the victory, FK Angels pocketed $50,000, while All Star Conquerors collected $25,000.
The competition was sponsored by Regal Stationery and Computer Centre, Star Party Rental, Elegance Jewellery and Pawn Shop, Click Computer Store and Mike’s Copy Centre. It was organised by the Guyana Softball League.
