Apr 03, 2025 Sports

Kaieteur Sports- Four matches have been set for this Sunday in the continuation of the 2025 Essequibo Softball Cricket League (ESCL) T20, Over-40 competition at two separate venues.

From 10 am at Reliance Sports Ground, Devonshire Castle will meet up Untouchables while at the same facility from 1:30 pm, Reliance Sports Club clashing with Queenstown Tigers.

And across at Affiance Number 1 ground also on the Coast, from 10:00 am, Essequibo Legends will take on Hibernia Strikers and then at 1:30 pm, defending champions Caribbean Cricket Club 2 and Richmond United will do battle.

Last Sunday only one match was possible between Queenstown Tigers and Essequibo Legends. Tigers claimed a gripping, four-wicket win against their opponents.

Playing at Zorg Beach, Legends raced to a competitive 209-8 at the expiration of the 20-overs while Queenstown Tigers replied with 214-6 with three balls to spare.

Linden Matthews led the runs-chase with a pugnacious 61 that contained six sixes and three fours.

The top-batter for Essequibo Legends was the consistent opener Imam Gafoor who hit an impressive 58.

Meanwhile, the other three scheduled rounds were called off due to teams not finding a full side. However, points were awarded to the full-strength teams.

Chairman of the ESCL Wakeel Layne stated that he is very optimistic that they will have four complete matches this weekend. According to him, this will be round 4 and more excitement is highly anticipated.

Layne mentioned that the 8-team competition will run until May 25 when the encounter takes place between the two finalists.

He informed that the winning team will pocket $100, 000 and a trophy while the second-place side set to cart off $50,000 and a trophy. More monetary incentives are also at stake for players who are outstanding with both bat and ball.

Layne further said that the League is also appreciable to all the sponsors from both in Guyana and USA.
