The Rose Hall Town Youth & Sports Club, MS, Busta Champion of Champions Softball Cricket Tournament would bowl off today at the Area ‘H’ Ground. The tournament would be the 14th Edition of the Busta Tournament but would be played on the Softball format due to the problems currently affecting the Berbice Cricket Board.

Foster stated that the first round of matches would be played 5-Overs per side, the quarterfinals 8-Overs per side, while the semifinals would be 10-Overs per side and only round hand bowling would be allowed. Teams would be required to be present at the venue for 08.30 hours for the first round and at 10.00 hours for the second round and Grand Finals.
Among the teams that would be playing in the tournament are Hard Knock, Terry Grocery, Jai Hind, Grill Master, Sham Grocery, Sparta, Shamie Grocery, Rising Star, Letter Kenny, M. Ali & Son Super 95, Fyrish, Rose Hall Town, Toopoo and Set Up.
