THE inaugural “Essequibo Is We Own Softball Cricket Cup”, which is slated for 3rd and 4th May, 2025 at various venues across Region Two, has gained the support of DBL Group Inc.  The tournament is being organised by the newly formed RS Sports in association with Roraima Community Developers, and the Essequibo Softball Cricket League (ESCL).

Mr. Latchman Sukha, Director of DBL Group Inc., said that he is very pleased that his entity is being given the opportunity to support this inaugural tournament, and sees this as one of the ways in maintaining its social responsibilities by supporting community events.
The Director said that grassroots games like these bring out the potential in young upcoming cricketers because this is where it starts.  He further said that not only the youths, but also the middle-aged and female players have an opportunity to show their skills and abilities in the game.
Mr. Sukha went on to say, not only that cricketers get to be involved, but also the entire region by going out and supporting their village team and players, and he sees this as a stepping stone in bringing our people across the divide together as one.
He further went on to wish all the teams the very best, as they will be vying for the bragging rights of this inaugural tournament.

The organsiers thank Mr. Sukha and his company for supporting this inaugural “Essequibo Is We Own Softball Cricket Cup,” which plays an integral role in developing young cricketers towards a brighter future in the sport and most importantly, brings the people together through sports.
According to the organisers the event is being organised to show support, by sending a message of solidarity through sports that Essequibo Belongs to Guyana, and we all stand by it in ensuring everyone plays their part in standing up.
The two-day limited overs tournament will be played in three categories: open male, female, and over 40, with round arm and risk bowling in a one-game knock format. The teams will be battling for the bragging rights, while over 1 million dollars in cash incentives and trophies will be up for grabs by the winner, runner-up, MVP, player of the final, best bowler, best batsman, and player of the match in all the games in the various categories.

Also onboard supporting the tournament are the U. Balgobin Electrical and Construction Services, Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports, and Roraima Developers.
