Commissioner of Police gives support to Kares One Guyana T10

Commissioner of Police (ag) Clifton Hicken has committed to participating yet again in the second season of the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast and ensuring the venues are safe spaces for families.
The second instalment of the pulsating tournament bowls off on August 3 at the Police Sports Club, Lusignan Community Centre Ground, and Queen’s College Ground, where the best 32 Tapeball teams in Guyana will be on show in a straight knock-out contest.
In 2023, the Commissioner held the gloves behind the stumps during the Cricket for Charity Match, which President Dr Irfaan Ali led at the National Stadium.
That match returns on August 25, along with the finals of the main draw at the Stadium.
In a Sunday press release, the organisers expressed immense gratitude for the support of the Commissioner and, by extension, the Guyana Police Force.
“Based on feedback, we had no security issues on the field or play. We certainly aim to replicate such again, and the support of the Guyana Police Force and private security firms is critical in that endeavour. There is no entrance fee attached to these venues, so we always encourage people to come out with their families and enjoy the festivities of this community sport,” FL Sport expressed.

Other match days will be the Round of 16 on August 4 at the Police Sports Club and Lusignan, while the quarter-finals return to the Enmore Community Centre Ground on August 11.
