THE prevailing inclement weather has forced the Georgetown Softball Cricket League (GSCL) Inc to reduce the Unity Softball Cup to a one-day affair set for the Police Sports Club ground, Eve Leary, today.
Originally planned for last month end, the GSCL had to postpone the tournament due to the unavailability of grounds.
However, the GSCL has decided to stage a one-day tournament instead, starting at 10:00 hours.
Today’s action will see Regal Legends opposing archrivals Parika Legends in the Over-50 category while Regal Masters will clash with Essequibo Masters in the Masters Over-40 and Success All Stars opposing a Select X1 in the day’s finale in the Open class.
Among the players expected to be on show for Regal Legends are Uniss Yusuf, David Harper, who will be making a return to competitive softball after a break of more than one year and Eon Abel.
Parika Legends will include Dubraj Singh and Ramo Malone.
The powerful Regal Masters lineup includes Patrick Rooplall, Lennox Mark, Ejaz Mohamed and Keith Fraser while former Gyana Under-19 player Latchman Rohit will lead the Essequibo Masters charge.
Trophy Stall, through its proprietor, Ramesh Sunich has once more agreed to support the GSCL and will be providing all the trophies to be distributed today when it’s also expected that Vice-president Dr Bharrat Jagdeo will be on hand to officiate in the presentation.
Also on board are Regal Stationery & Computer Centre, Premier Insurance (Guyana), M. Sookhai & Company (Audit/Advisory/Tax) and Nafeeza’s Kitchen Catering Service.
The one-day tournament follows closely on the successful staging of the recent One Guyana Unification extravaganza, and brings the curtains down on the GSCL activities for the 2025 season.
Apart from the several trophies which will be up for grabs, the Most Valuable Player (MVP) in each category will take away a32-inch Smart television, compliments of Regal Stationery & Computer Centre.
