2 floodlight softball teams to attend New York League

The Guyana Floodlights Softball Cricket Association (GFSCA) is sending the Floodlights and Floodlights Legends — two softball teams — to participate in the New York Softball Cricket League (NYSCL) Independence/Legend Cup Softball tournament. This occasion represents ten consecutive years since the GFSCA has been sending representatives to participate in this NYSCL tournament.
The tournament will be held on June 30th, July 1st & July 2nd at the Canarsie Park in Brooklyn, and the finals will be held on Sunday at the Roy Wilkinson Park in Queens. Most of the local players have already travelled to New York, and the few remaining here will go early in this week.

Floodlights are the reigning champions of this year’s inaugural Orlando Premier League, played in March this year in Orlando, Florida. They emerged champions in the Florida Cup played in March 2016 in Fort Lauderdale, and were also champions at the Legends Cup staged in July 2015 in New York, but were bested in July 2016 by local rivals Regal Masters.
They are confident of regaining their softball supremacy this weekend over all their rivals in the New York Legend Cup, where 12 teams from around USA, Canada & Guyana will be taking part. The Independence Cup will also feature 12 teams in the Open category.
Both tournaments would be played simultaneously. Ricky Deonarain is captaining the Floodlights team, and Dharam Persaud is captaining the Floodlights Legends. Hubern Evans is the coach for both teams.
The two teams will be picked from the following persons: Uniss Mohamed Yousuf, Ramo Malone, Ramesh Narine Deonarine, Lloyd Ruplall, Wayne Jones, Kamraj Sumair, Robert Mohan, Mahesh Lutchman, Tulshi Lutchman, Vishawnauth Lutchman, Anil Beharry, Goordial Mattai, Ricky Deonarain, Jagdish Persaud, Dharam Persaud, Lakhram Singh, Gopaul Boj-Raj, Jailall Doedass, Vivakenand Ramsaywack, Nadir Baksh, Mohan Sukhu, Richard Persaud, Surendra Nauth, Armogan Gopaul, Unos Baksh, Teekchand Madho and Ramchand Ragbeer.
