The tournament was organised as part of the massive Beharry’s Say No/Say Yes Campaign which targets over 60,000 youths in the ancient county. This Campaign’s main objectives are to get youths to say no to crime, suicide, drugs, alcohol and yes to education, life and sports.

Secretary Hilbert Foster disclosed that the winning team would take home $150,000 plus the Beharry’s Say No Trophy, the Runner-up would receive $75,000, while 3rd place would get $25,000. The winner of each sub-zone would also receive $15,000.
Teams are reminded that all players would have to be properly attired in white clothing and they would have to walk along with a new red cricket ball.
