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.

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.
