Over 4M up for grabs in second edition

SOFTBALL players across Guyana are set to be in action in what is considered to be the country’s biggest open softball cricket tournament as plans are moving apace for the 2nd “One Guyana Inter-Region Ten10 Softball Cricket Cup”.

The event is slated to take place from November 2 – 30, 2025 at various venues across the regions in both male and female categories with over 4 million dollars in cash and prizes up for grabs.

The inaugural tournament saw only male players in action, and the winner, Hype Park of Parika in Region Three, walked away with $300,000 and a trophy.

The winner of this year’s tournament walked away with 1 million dollars and a trophy while the runners up will get $250,000 and a trophy.

Prizes will be awarded to the MVP, best bowler, best batsman, and man of the final.

In the female category, the winning team will pocket $300,000 and a trophy, the runner-up $150,000 and a trophy, while prizes will be awarded to the MVP, best bowler, best batsman, and player of the final.

In both categories, prizes will be awarded to the player of the match in the semi-finals.

According to the organisers, in the regional games, the winning male team will be awarded $100,000 and a trophy, while the female winner is going to be awarded $50,000 and a trophy.

Prizes will be given to the runners-up, best batters, best bowlers, and players of those regional finals.

The winner of each region will then battle in the national playoffs on the 30th of November at a venue to be named.

The tournament bowls off from November 2 at the Zeeburg Ground in Region Three, Strathavon Ground in Cane Grove, Mahaica in Region Four and in Region 10 at the Speighland Sports Ground.

All matches start at 9:00 hours, and are ten (10) overs per innings.

The tournament will continue to use supreme balls, and it’s a one-game knockout competition that will use round-arm bowling with extras in place.

It’s the true belief of the organisers that the tournament once again will bring our people together across various villages/communities/regions in unity through sports and strengthen the game of softball cricket locally.

The organisers said that softball cricket is the grassroots of all forms of cricket, and it nurtures our youths to move on in playing all forms of the game at the very highest level, and it also brings families, friends, and communities together.
