PRIME Minister Moses V. Nagamootoo was yesterday (August 11, 2016) presented with an autographed bat, by the Guyana Amazon Warriors manager Omar Khan. The bat bore the signatures of all the Guyana Amazon Warriors cricketers who featured in the Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2016.
Khan said it is customary for the team to present senior government officials with special autographed bats as a means of saying ‘thank you’ for the support given to the Amazon Warriors.
Upon receiving the memorabilia, Prime Minister Nagamootoo said he was very happy with the team and despite not winning the team gave Guyanese fans lots to be proud of.
The Warriors played four matches at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence in early July with sold-out crowds showing their support for the home team.
The Amazon Warriors finished the league stage at the top of the points table with seven victories in 10 matches. The consistent team then progressed to their third final in four years with a four-wicket victory over the number two team on the points table, Jamaica Tallawahs.
The Warriors failed to lift their maiden title giving the Tallawahs their second title and becoming the first team to win the championship more than once.
