Khan’s Construction on board with One Guyana Inter-Region Ten\10 Softball Cup
(Kaieteur Sports) – As softball teams and fans are eagerly waiting for the start of the country’s biggest open softball tournament, which is slated to take place from 2nd to 30th November 2025 at various venues across the regions, Khan’s Construction and Transportation Services Inc. has once again given its support towards the tournament.

In a simple handing over of sponsorship, Ms. Nalini Khan stated that her entity is very pleased to support the tournament once again, as it is in its 2nd year, and wishes the organizers all the best and hopes for a smooth running of the tournament as of last year.
She also went on to wish all the teams the very best and is excited that this year’s tournament has included female teams to be part of it.
Ms. Akaze Thompson of RS Sports thanked Mr. Shaffiek Khan, Ms. Nalini Khan, and all at their entity for supporting the tournament for the second year and assured the sponsors that the organisers are going to ensure that this year’s tournament, which is expected to be bigger and better, will be run smoothly as last year.
Ms. Thompson went on to state that this year’s tournament is expected to be played in all of Guyana’s ten administrative regions and is set to be bigger and better with the inclusion of the open female category and with more attractive prizes up for grabs.
Last year’s inaugural tournament which was played in the male open category and saw Hype Park of Parika in region 3 got better of their opponents Regal of region 4 in the final at the Bath Community Centre Ground on the West Coast Berbice, as they walk away with the inaugural title, the MVP, best bowler, best batsman and man of the final prizes.
The organisers have said that softball cricket is the grassroots of all forms of cricket, and it nurtures our youths to move on in playing all forms of the game at the very highest level, and it also brings families, friends, and communities together.
The tournament is being coordinated by RS Sports. According to the coordinators, all regional winning teams will be awarded cash incentives and trophies, while prizes will be given to the runners-up, regional MVPs, Best bowlers, Best Batter, Player of the finals, and Player of the matches.
While in the national playoffs, the national winners will be given more lucrative cash incentives to walk away with. Prizes will also be awarded to the tournament’s MVPs, Best Bowler, Best Batter, and Player of Finals.
The winner of each region will battle in the national playoffs at a venue to be named.
It’s the true belief of the organizers that the tournament once again will bring our people together across various villages/communities/regions in unity through sports and strengthen the game of softball cricket locally.
The tournament will continue to use supreme balls, and it’s a one-game knockout competition that will use round-arm bowling with extras in place.
The coordinators said they are looking forward to support from corporate Guyana in making this second edition of the Inter-Region Tournament possible, as the Ministry of Culture, Youth, and Sports has already indicated its support for the tournament under its One Guyana brand.
Interested teams across the country can register via WhatsApp 726-1386, and registration closes on the 25th of October.
