Having a total of 25 teams and counting signalling their interest in competing in the third annual Transcend Entertainment’s Seven-a-Side Independence Cricket Festival has filled event promoter Dwight Dodson with optimism for a successful event.
The event is scheduled to be held on June 30 and July 1st at the National Cultural Centre Tarmac in Georgetown, with action commencing at 20:00 hrs on both days.
In an invited comment, Dodson said, “In terms of the event running off after inclement weather, to be honest, I’m very enthusiastic about the tournament. we have 5 additional teams registered, totalling 25. We are quite happy, to say the least, due to the fact that is has been highly anticipated and the efforts that has been put in also.
“We are most grateful to our sponsors. It is important that we mention that, because without them it wouldn’t be possible. In addition, Superbet Guyana has provided us with lots of giveaways for patrons.”
Some of the teams that are expected to participate are: Team Corruption, Village Rams, Tallawahs United, Tarmac, Eccles All Stars, Outlaws, and Hangover. Many other teams are, however, expected to participate.
