Guyana Amazon Warriors call for Fans to Rally with the Team

Jul 11, 2015 Sports

CPL – Team Operations Manager of the Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) Omar Khan said that home fans support will be important to the Warriors for their home games in the 2015 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) beginning next Wednesday at the Guyana National Stadium at Providence.
Fresh off their second victory against the St. Kitts/Nevis Patriots Wednesday night at Warner Park in St. Kitts, Khan expressed confidence that Amazon Warriors will bounce back into contention for the playoffs in their crucial home matches against the Jamaica Tallawahs on July 15th, St. Lucia Zouks – July 17th, Barbados Tridents – July 18th and Trinidad and Tobago Red Steels on July 21st.
“Unlike the past two years, where the Guyana Amazon Warriors started their campaign at home, this year we have been on the road with matches in Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts/Nevis and Jamaica where the home teams have received tremendous support, so we are looking forward to the tremendous support from all of Guyana when we return to play at Providence,” he said.
The Amazon Warriors, losing finalists in the two previous editions of the tournament have suffered two closely fought defeats against the St. Lucia Zouks and the Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel.
Khan is urging local fans to secure their tickets early as he anticipates sold out crowds for all four matches. Tickets are going fast so fans are urged to take the opportunity to get the remaining tickets early.
Tickets are being sold at the CPL Central Office on Middle Street as well as the Guyana National Stadium Ticket Office, Courts stores in Georgetown, Berbice, Parika and Linden and at Ramdhan Distribution located at 19 Princess Elizabeth Road, New Amsterdam, and a few buildings from Berbice High School (BHS).
The Warriors defeated the St. Kitts Patriots by eight wickets under the Duckworth/Lewis method after rain brought a premature end to the match. The Guyana Amazon Warriors were always in full control of the run chase with Man of the Match Brad Hodge leading the way with a match winning innings of 61 not out and was well supported by Captain Denesh Ramdin’s quick fire 31 and Assad Fudadin’s composed unbeaten 44.
The GAW squad will travel to Jamaica to oppose the Jamaica Tallawahs on Sunday at Sabina Park before returning to Guyana for their four matches with the aim of securing a place in the finals billed for Trinidad and Tobago on July 26th at Queens Park Oval. The team is expected home Monday evening.
