City Mall Hadi’s Inc has thrown their support behind the Georgetown Cricket Association by sponsoring a first division 2 day round robin competition.
The tournament was officially launched Thursday at the City Mall in Regent Street and will feature all Georgetown first division teams.
Speaking at the ceremony Chairman of the Competition’s Committee, Shaun Massiah, said that the clubs will play each other once and the team with the most points will be the champions.
He stated that the fielding teams will be given one bonus point for the first three wickets taken and one for every two wickets taken after that. Batting teams will also be given one bonus point scoring 150 runs and one for every 50 runs scored there after, however no team will be given more than 5 bonus points in an innings.
He also asked that teams submit their list of players no later that Tuesday 20th of November. Teams which fail to meet this requirement will not be issued with a fixture. Managing Director of City Mall Hadi’s inc Mr. Nazar Mohamed said he was honoured to sponsor the competition and will do so annually. He recalled his playing days stating that he represented Essequibo and attended National trials. He lauded the GCA for organising the competition.
Meanwhile, President of the GCA Roger Harper thanked Mr. Mohamed for coming on board and said his sponsorship will go a long way towards the development of the game. The winning and runner up teams will receive $120,000 and $80,000 respectively. Trophies and medals will also be given to outstanding players.
