“Guyana Softball Cup 2” starts today
Fixtures for today in the Guyana Softball Cup cricket tournament organised by the Guyana Floodlights Softball Cricket Association (GFSCA) show several matches in the preliminary stage of the competition being contested today at several venues.
The tournament was officially launched last evening at the GCC Pavilion, Bourda and representatives of the respective teams and officials were present.

President of the GFSCA Steve Narine, in brief remarks, welcomed the overseas teams and thanked the sponsors, while Director of Sport Neil Kumar congratulated the Association and assured them of support from the Ministry of Sport.
Meanwhile vice president of the Association Ricky Deonarine gave a brief run down of how the tournament will be played. He said that the teams will be divided into three zones and will face each other thrice with the top team from each zone qualifying for the semis. The fourth semifinalist will be the team with best run rate.

The winner in the open category will take home $800,000 and a trophy, while the runner up team will receive $200,000 and a trophy. Individual awards will also be given out for each century, hat-trick, five wicket haul, MVP of the tournament and the man-of-the-match in the finals.
In the Masters category, the champion team will cart off $600,000 and a trophy and the runner up will collect $200,000 along with a trophy. Individual prizes will also be given for each century, hat-trick, five wicket haul, MVP and man of the match in the finals.
