The Guyana Softball League (GSL) has displayed its confidence in the Yolo Entertainment Agency (YEA) by endorsing the staging of the second leg of the Chow Pow’s 10/10 Challenge Series.
The governing body met with the organisers at the Group’s Head Office on South Road last Saturday where plans for the staging of the second leg were outlined.
The Organizing Secretary of the GSL Mr. Lenard Hariprashad expressed satisfaction with the organisational capabilities of Yolo Entertainment, stating that the Group has so far demonstrated professionalism and exceptional management skill.
He added that the GSL will work in tandem with YEA to ensure that the development of the tournament and the sport of softball cricket reach greater heights.
The first leg of the tournament was staged on the West Bank and West Coast of Demerara and saw the Wolf’s Warriors carting off the male prize and the Regal Champs winning the female category.
Digital Technology was the prime sponsor of the first leg with beverage giants Bank DIH and Creative Jewellery contributing handsomely.
YEA is optimistic that due to its impeccable organisation ability it will be able to garner even more support from the corporate community this time round.
The second leg is scheduled to be staged on the East Coast of Demerara and will see 32 teams playing a total of one hundred and sixty-two games, at three venues over a period of seven weeks.
Sadly however due to the nature of the tournament the Wolf’s Warriors and the Regal Champs will not be allowed to participate as every round will seek to crown new champions.
The format will be of round robin nature until the super sixteen round, where it will then enter the knockout phase.
All of the leading softball teams from around the country have signaled their intentions to participate including Memorex which is the top team in Berbice.
Tournament dates and venues will be released shortly.
