Georgetown, Guyana - The Guyana Softball League will organise a Minor League 10/10 softball cricket tournament for primary schools on the West Coast of Demerara.
The tournament will be sponsored by Rohan Furniture Establishment of Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo; Omesh Parboo General Store and promoter Nigel.
The competition will be played for trophies and medals and will be on a round robin basis. The aim of the tournament is to allow the younger talent to shine and the individual players to gain confidence in playing cricket, thereby going on to bigger things. This tournament has been in the making for some time now and has finally been realised.
Most of the primary schools have been encouraged by the exhibitions matches held in tandem with the Mobile Wizard 10/10 and the attention and response received have been tremendous. The GSL saw it fit to ensure that new talents were exposed in order to have continuity and interest in softball cricket. Communities across the West Coast of Demerara have supported the 10/10 in numbers and it is hoped that with bigger things to come, it will be a joy to see younger talent bursting through and representing the area fully when this current crop of players hang up the gloves. So says Coordinator Prem Persaud who is a teacher at the Leonora Primary School. Primary schools from Windsor Forest to Parika will be involved and other schools wishing to take part can gather information from GSL Youth Affairs Coordinator Prem Persaud on telephone numbers 611-6903 and 268-3501 or Leonard Harprashad on numbers 646-0568 and268-2458.
All teams will assemble at the Leonora Primary School ground today for the opening and the start of the first round.
