Former Guyana First-Class Captain Daesrat organise softball tournament 

Dassie and Friends are set to run off a one-day 10-10 knockout softball extravaganza at Keele Top, Toronto, Canada on Saturday in memory of former Cricket Canada team manager Johnny Bujun.
According to Damodar Daesrat, an ex-Canada international player and former Guyana First-Class Captain, the day promises to be exciting with a large number of high-profile softball players from around the Greater Toronto area expected to be part of the action.
Only the first 10 teams are allowed for the round-hand games. The event is fixed to bowl off at 09:30h and the entrance fee is just CDN$300. The winning team will pocket CDN$4000 while there are other cash prizes and trophies up for grabs.
Daesrat, a former all-rounder, stated that they wanted to remember Bujun for his service to cricket (hardball) in Toronto and by extension, Canada. Bujun also helped direct cricket in Canada for a lengthy period and made several international tours with the men’s senior team. He died in 2016 in a vehicular accident in his native Trinidad and Tobago.
He was also a co-owner of Masters Cricket Club, formerly known as Brampton Cricket Club that participated in the annual Toronto District Cricket Association tournaments over the last two decades. A large number of Guyanese cricketers have represented the club over the years as well.
Daesrat said that they would inaugurate this softball competition for Bujun and all COVID-19 measures will be put in place for both players and fans. He thanked all of the sponsors for their continued support for softball cricket in Ontario and particularly this one-day event. Some of the former Guyanese cricketers expected to grace the occasion are: Daesrat, Royston Crandon, Dillon Heyliger, Hemnarine and Harrinarine Chattergoon, Rovendra Mandolall, Farouk Hussain, Troy Gobin, Zaheer Haniff, Devon Ramnauth, and Azib Alli Hanif.
