Inaugural tournament bowls off March 3

THE Inaugural One Guyana Inter Region Ten10 Softball Cricket Tournament is slated to take place from March 3 and conclude on the March 17, 2024 according to organisers Roraima Community Developers.

According to R.C.D Ms. Sandra Edwards, they have already identified its regional coordinators and they are presently working on putting systems in place as to the venues, teams’ registration and the other things that will be needed at various venues in the regions taking part.

“Teams from regions One to Six have already indicated that they will be participating and the organisation is working to have teams from the other regions participate in this inter region tournament,” informed Ms. Edwards.

The tournament will be played in an open category because over the years softball cricket has seen a tremendous decline nationally and that is because of the categorising of the local cricket, where many could not get involved in the games regionally and nationally because of age range.

According to the official, this tournament is seen as a grassroot one and in bringing back softball to the village level. While its aim and objective are to bring our people together as one.
They further said that cricket plays a very integral part in binding our people and molding our youths towards a positive future.

The tournament will see all age groups participating within the teams that will be taking part and each region will have its own competition to crown its champion.

According to Roraima Community Developers the teams competing regionally will be vying also for trophies and cash incentives. While the winning team in each region will battle against each other for the same but most importantly for the national championship bragging rights.

According to R.D.C. officials, the tournament will see cash prizes and trophies up for grabs.
The regional and national prizes to be awarded during and after the tournament will be announced shortly
The tournament will be played on ten overs aside, round arm bowling and based on a one game knockout format.
