COVID-19 breaches force anti-climactic end
— Regal Masters and Legends claim title

By Rajiv Bisnauth
THE Georgetown Softball Cricket League (GSCL) Incorporated President’s T20 Softball three-day League ended in an anti-climactic fashion, after organisers were forced to call off the Open final, due to spectators failing to adhere to the COVID-19 guidelines.
Regal All Stars were 10-2, chasing 117 for victory over Speedboat in the open final when the game was called off.
Organizers later decided that both Regal All-Stars and Speedboat would be joint-champions; both teams receiving $600,000.

Meanwhile, Regal’s resounding victories in the Masters’ and Legends’ categories not only suggested a quantum leap in performance, but they have stamped their authority, undoubtedly, as the best softball teams locally.
The two teams, Masters’ and Legends’, enhanced their reputation as the major force in softball cricket after they found glorious realisation yesterday, winning the two titles when the two finals concluded just before 13:00hrs.

In the Masters final, led by a stroke-filled unbeaten half-century from Richard Latif with support from Ejaz Mohammed, Regal Masters easily disposed of Wellman Masters by nine wickets and 5.3 overs to spare.
The duo shared an unbroken second-wicket stand of 148. Latif struck seven fours and a similar amount of sixes in his unbeaten 84, while Mohammed hit five sixes and a four in his unbeaten 54, as Regal Masters chased down the winning target of 147 with ease.
Earlier, a complete bowling effort from the winners ensured they restricted their opponents to 146-6. Greg Defranca made 61. Mohamed Ayube had 2-39, as Regal Masters collected $500,000.
In the Legends final, Regal beat Parika Defenders by eight wickets. Parika Defenders reached 66-8 in their 20 overs. In the run chase, Regal Legends reached 69-2 in 13.1 overs.
