The registration period will end on May 24, 2013 with games slated to begin the following weekend, weather permitting.
Yolo entertainment’s director Kirk Jardine stated that the tournament has received major support from teams with a very high number signaling their interest of participation.
Softball cricket in the past few years have found favour with fans throughout the country, evidence being in the numbers that turnout to witness the matches.
The first leg of the tournament saw the national 2011 champions Wolf Warriors and the Regal Champs coming out victorious in the male and female segments respectively and was deemed to be very successful with the vast number of fans. Those teams however will not be able to participate as every phase seeks to confirm new champions thereby paving the way for a tournament of champions after all the phases are completed.
The Guyana Softball League has already endorsed the tournament which, if all goes well, will bowl off at the Better hope, Lusignan and Helena grounds. The usual family fun day and chutney/carnival atmosphere will complement the games at all venues with added incentives for fans being provided. The corporate community is urged to support this venture as it seeks to further bring about togetherness amongst our people in a fun filled atmosphere.
