GSL LAUNCHES ESSEQUIBO 10/10 CHALLENGE CUP THIS SATURDAY
The Guyana Softball League in collaboration with the Essequibo Softball League will launch the Essequibo Challenge Cup this Saturday 16th January, 2016 under lights. The tournament is part of the 10/10 format which the GSL will take around the country and will be known as the Challenge series.
Six matches are slated for Essequibo and will see two female teams clashing in the first encounter, while two maters teams will battle in the second match. The evening will have four of Essequibo Top Teams playing against each other in the open category for a grand prize and trophies. The last match of the evening will see West Coast taking on a strong Essequibo team for a monetary prize.
The Open teams will have the cream of Essequibo Softball Players representing the entire coastal area. The two female teams will be from the Pomeroon area and both teams have a history of grudge matches played with the series tied at 3-3 and this will break that deadlock. The Masters teams will have the players that have represented the Essequibo in the past battling for pride as both teams, which have players of great talent, will look to be in the winning row.
Additionally there will be more entertainment as Chow Pow, Granny Ivelaw, Shorty and others invade Essequibo to show the spectators some of their talent. The music will be in the hands of Dee jays from Slingers, Chinee Assassin and 71 sounds.
The one ball manto will be introduced to Essequibians and the spectators will have a chance to compete against each other in the action packed day and night event. There will also be ring games, Trampoline and merry go around for the family and other attractions as the organizers intend to give the Essequibians a once in a lifetime show. The trophies for this event are beautifully carved specially for this series and will be on display at each event. There will be added prizes for the spectators to win.
Meanwhile, the area that brings out the biggest crowd will be rewarded with the quarter finals after all the areas have been completed. The buzz around Essequibo has been heartening and all Essequibians are asked to support the event. The next stop in the 10/10 Challenge series will be East Coast and they are asked to prepare for this as the show moves from area to area.
