Rain puts Kares T10 East Bank/West Demerara zone on hold

Persistent inclement weather has forced Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast and FL Sport organisers to postpone the East Bank/West Demerara zone matches after heavy rain drenched all three venues on Saturday.
FL Sport announced that efforts are underway to play some round-of-16 matches on Monday, July 7, provided conditions improve. Alternate dates of Saturday, July 12, and Saturday, July 26, are also on the agenda to crown a zonal champion before the national finals on Sunday, August 3, 2025.

“The inclement weather has been a jolt to proceedings today, but we have options to ensure all zones are completed before the finals on August 3,” explained John Ramsingh, Co-Director of the organising committee.
Sixteen teams are slated to compete in the East Bank Demerara/West Demerara zone, all vying for a coveted spot in the national finals. These teams include Diamond Gunners, Soesdyke XI, Eccles All-Stars, 592 Gunners, Hyde Park, Young Guns, Laluni, Timerhi Sports Club, Visionary Vipers (from Saxacalli), Trendsetters, The Guard, Stripling Warriors, Tourism Guyana Titans, Young Steppaz, CJIA Warriors, and K&B All-Stars.
Beyond the prestige of reaching the national final, the zone champion will be rewarded with a significant prize of GY$300,000 and a specially commissioned trophy. They will then compete for a further GY$1.7 million in the national finals. The runner-up in the zone final will also receive a substantial prize of GY$100,000.
The stakes will be even higher at the national finals, where the runner-up will take home GY$700,000, along with a trophy and medals, while the two losing semi-finalists will each receive GY$300,000.
The tournament will continue with the Georgetown/East Coast Demerara zone scheduled for July 19-20, followed by the Essequibo zone on July 26-27. The grand national finals are slated for Sunday, August 3.
