MAHDIA (Movements Family) performed superbly to win the inaugural Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) Harmony League T10 Tapeball Championship.
On Sunday, Ricardo Adams and Ershaad Ali marched them to a comprehensive victory over Lil Rams in the final at the Everest Cricket Club.
Set a target of 95, the powerful duo of Ricardo Adams, who made 44* (4x4s;3x6s) from 27 balls, and Ershaad Ali, who made 41* (1×4;5x6s) from 14 balls, quickly steered the title Mahdia’s way.

Before the final, legendary West Indian captain Sir Clive Lloyd and Commissioners from the ERC greeted the teams.
Forty-eight teams from each of the counties competed in the tournament that commenced on November 17.

Given the success and interest of players, the ERC is expected to host a bigger event in 2025.
Through this initiative, the ERC aimed to build lasting connections among participants, promote mutual respect, and strengthen community ties across Guyana.
