Preliminary matches will be played at various grounds along the Essequibo Coast, while the final will take place at the Anna Regina Community Centre ground.
“We want to encourage everyone to come out to the matches: the spectators, the players. Digicel likes to give back to the community, and there will be giveaways, phone deals and sales opportunity for everyone,” Das stated.
President of the GFSCA, Ramchand Ragbeer, said the association has embraced the concept, noting that the members are eagerly looking forward to working with ‘The Bigger, Better Network.’ He pointed out that the competition will utilise the GFSCA balls that are usually reserved for international tournaments.
Ragbeer sounded a warning to the teams to stick to their original list of players submitted prior to the start of the tournament, noting that changes and/or the drafting in of players from other teams that were previously knocked out would not be tolerated.
Teams desirous of competing in the inaugural competition are required to make contact with the GFSCA coordinator in Essequibo, Khalid Baksh.
