Kaieteur Sports – Seeking to wrap up 2025 on a high note, the Guyana Harpy Eagles winged out on Sunday ahead of Round 1’s triple-header start to this season’s CWI CG United Regional Super50 Cup; which bowls off today in a mouth-watering clash versus the Jamaica Scorpions.

Franchises will assemble in the Twin Island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago for this year’s skirmish which will see the Guyanese desperately seeking to break an almost two-decade long curse of holding the elusive 50-Overs Regional title.

The local lads wrapped up their recent encampment with a few intense training sessions as they sought to fine-tune/iron out any potential kinks in what should be a well-oiled Harpy Eagles unit. The squad, flanked by coaches Ryan Hercules and Garvin Nedd, departed local shores after a few days off from their final practice session which was held at the Everest Club.

Eagles skipper Matthew Nandu and his fairly young squad will have much work to do this season, especially with a monkey on their backs having not held the title since many of the current player were just youngsters to say the least.

Despite their young age core, the likes of Kemol Savory, Antony Adams, Ronaldo Alimohamed, Kevlon Anderson, Gudakesh Motie, Keemo Paul and others have tons of experience at the highest levels in their own capacities.

Guyana Harpy Eagles Captain Matthew Nandu and his men winged out for Trinidad & Tobago Sunday last, ahead of their opening bout versus Jamaica Scorpions.

Youngsters Shamar Apple, Thaddeus Lovell, Sylus Tyndall to name a few have a huge opportunity this season to cement spots in the team or at least in the overall setup of the squad.

While Guyana will be trying their hand at a new-look team, the Jamaicans will be fancying themselves with a slightly more seasoned, veteran mix of weapons at their disposal.

West Indies Test batsman Jermaine Blackwood will be the key for the Scorpions, while familiar vets like Marquino Mindley, Kirk Mckenzie, Jeavor Royal aetc, can help their young stars in spinner Abijhai Mansingh, Tamare Redwood and others; to get a good start to the season come today.

As customary, the players sought to immediately acclimatized upon landing in Trinidad after winging out Sunday, to which pushed in some final work ahead of their first clash in Game 2 of today’s three-match showdown, versus the Scorpions at the Queen’s Park Oval from 9:00h.

Meanwhile, home-team Trinidad and Tobago Red Force will tackle the Barbados Pride over at the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground in St Augustine, with rivals Leeward Island Hurricanes and Windward Island Volcanoes will collide over in Tarouba at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy Ground.
