The Independence T20 Softball tournament which is being organised by the Georgetown Softball Cricket League Inc in collaboration with the National Sports Commission will now commence on Saturday.
The competition was set to bowl off last weekend but play was called off with out a ball being bowled due to the inclement weather which left the venues waterlogged.

Zone A is comprised of Choke Success Masters, Parika Defenders, Fisherman XI and Tropical Springs while zone B includes Ariel, Albion, Regal and Mike’s Wellman. Matches are slated for the Malteenoes Sports Club, GNIC SC, Gandhi Youth Organisation and Ogle SC.
