Banks DIH to provide free Kids Zone at Kares ‘One Guyana’ T10 Blast
Teams are finalizing their preparation for the highly anticipated Kares ‘One Guyana’ T10 Tape ball Blast, which is just days away.
The first ball is expected to be bowled at 09:00hrs on Saturday, July 29, across five venues in Georgetown, while the semi-finals and the grand final will be played the next day at Everest Cricket Club.
The organizers have promised high quality and competitive cricket from the 32 teams in the knockout ten-over-per- side tournament, while there will be live streaming for the world to see the product.
The grand prize is $1M, but many individual prizes are on offer. Spectators can also win instant prizes from sponsors by participating in a novelty cricket-related event.
In what is turning out to be the perfect family-oriented event, the organizers have promised to set up a specially-designated area dubbed the Kidz Zone, in which children would enjoy free riders and there would be a bouncy castle. In partnership with sponsor Banks DIH Limited, there will also be free ice cream, soda, snacks, and water.
Co-Director of the tournament, John Ramsingh, said, “Banks DIH have demonstrated their generosity previously, but this is above and beyond. Words are not enough to say ‘thank you’. With this excellent idea, parents will have peace of mind with their children in the Safe Zone while they [parents] either play or watch the action on the field. It is a win for everyone.”
President Dr. Mohamed Irfaan Ali is the patron of the ‘One Guyana’ T10 Tape ball Blast, which begins with the round of 32 on day one at 09:00h, followed by the round of 16 at 13:00h, then the quarter-finals at 16:00h at Police Sports Club ground, Eve Leary; Queen’s College, YMCA, Transport Sports Club, and GDF Base Camp Ayanganna.
