ORGANISED by the Guyana Floodlight Softball Cricket Association (GFSCA), the seventh edition of the Guyana Softball Cup has been confirmed for November 3 to 5 in Georgetown.
According to a release from the GFSCA, nine teams from New York, Florida, Canada have already confirmed their participation for the tournament.
The release further indicated that with the number of local teams expected to play, the GFSCA will find it very challenging to choose teams to play and compete in the tournament.
Last Wednesday executive members of the GFSCA met with Director of Sport Christopher Jones, where major discussions were held as with regard to the seventh edition of the annual International Softball Tournament.
The Director of Sport was also briefed on other GFSCA activities. Following their installation of lights at the DCC ground in Queenstown, the GFSCA recently constructed an all-weather cricket practice facility at the venue.
Currently, the association, in collaboration with DCC, is staging a hard-ball Under-13 tournament which is being sponsored by Well Teen, Trophy Stall, Tropical Spring Waters and Nauth Motor Spares.
Having won the Masters category of the Guyana Cup in 2016, the GFSCA took part in a softball tournament held in Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, New York and Canada earlier this year and were successful in the Masters division in Orlando and New York.
