REGAL Stationery & Computer Centre has thrown its support behind the staging of the inaugural One Guyana Berbice Softball Cup, set for today at the Port Mourant Community Centre Ground, Berbice. The action is set to bowl off at 09:00hrs.

The entity, through its dynamic manager Mahendra “Anil” Hardyal, has provided flat- screen televisions for the Most Valuable Players (MVPs) in both the men’s and women’s categories for the one-day tournament.

The tournament is being organised by the newly-formed R.S. Sports, in association with the City Star Softball Team of Port Mourant and Roraima Developers.
According to officials, the tournament is being staged following the successful hosting of the inaugural Inter-Region Ten10 Softball Cricket Cup in April, which saw Hyde Park Outlaws of Region Three walk away with the championship and the RCD Region Three Softball Cup.

Coordinator Abel Seetaram disclosed that softball cricket is the grassroots cricket which leads players to all other formats or stages of the game, hence the staging of this tournament.
The tournament is being played on a one-game knock-out format, with round-arm bowling being used. It will be a ten (10) overs per side affair, and is open to male and female Open teams.

At stake are lucrative cash incentives, trophies and other prizes. Prizes will be awarded to the winners, runners-up, Most Valuable Player (MVP), player with the best bowling figures in an innings, player with the highest score in an innings and player of the finals. The player of the match in each game will also be recipient of a trophy in both the male and female categories
Other sponsors include Trophy Stall, ECS, DBL Group, PT Hatchery, Dr. Vanooten, Ashiek Motor Spares, BCCI, 4S Security, Money Tree Trading, Roraima Developers and Cardinal Enterprise.
The organisers are planning to have lots of side attractions, giveaways, and entertainment for fans.
