SOFTBALL fans will be in for a treat tomorrow when the Guyana Floodlight Softball Cricket Association (GFSCA) hosts a Trinidadian team for an exhibition game. The GFSCA will collide with the visiting Paradise Sports and Cultural Organisation from Chaguanas, Trinidad, in a feature 20/20 ‘hardball’ game at the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) ground, Queenstown from 18:00hrs.
The versatile men from Floodlights, Guyana Softball Cup 4 and 2015 New York Independence Cup champions, will don pads, batting gloves, helmets as they switch to hardball.
Paradise Sports were first hosted in 1972 by the-then famous Ogle Cricket Club and followed up that inaugural tour with several others up to the mid-80s where they played various clubs on the East Coast.
Some members from that 1972 trip will be in attendance at DCC tomorrow.
The Guyana team reads: Ricky Deonarain (captain), Reyaz Husein, Wayne Jones, Uniss Yusuf, Khalid Baksh, Richard Persaud, Dharam Persaud, Aravinda Gainda, Romeo Deonarain, Steve Narine, Rahaman Khan, Surendra Nauth, Rakesh Goverdhan with Rohan Boj-Raj – manager .
