–Registration commences tomorrow

FRESH from the successful staging of the ninth edition of the Prime Minister’s T20 softball tournament, the Georgetown Softball Cricket League (GSCL) Inc. will end the 2026 season in grand style with the third edition of the Vice-president’s three-day softball extravaganza, set for October 30, 31 and November 1.
The tournament, which was first played in 2023 was paused last year for the staging of the Unification Cup.
According to GSCL president, Ian John, Vice-President, Dr Bharrat Jagdeo, has, once again, consented to the staging of the tournament in his honour.
Several teams have already indicated their interest to participate with the registration process set to commence tomorrow with GSCL’ Secretary, Telesha Ousman at Regal Stationery & Computer Centre, 69 Seaforth Street, Campbellville. The official launching is set for Sunday, October 25 at the Gandhi Youth Organisation (GYO) on Woolford Avenue, Georgetown.
The tournament will be contested in the usual three men’s categories – Open All Stars, Masters Over-40 and Legends Over-50 over 20 overs at several venues in and around Georgetown.
During the 2024 launching, held at the Muslim Youth Organisation (MYO), Patron of the tournament, Guyana’s Vice-president, Dr Bharrat Jagdeo extolled praise on the organisers, GSCL, title sponsors Regal Stationery & Computer Centre and others for their sterling efforts in the staging of the three-day extravaganza.
According to the vice-president, “the recognition of what people have done is crucial because sometimes those who have worked over the years to preserve this very unique way of unifying and keeping our people together have not gotten that recognition, so today I just wanted to come here to associate myself with this effort and the other efforts that are being done at the national level and to thank all of those who are working to make this happen.” (Frederick Halley)
