Guards, Lil Rams, Mahdia and CJIA through to ERC T10 Tape ball finals

The 48 teams that have been contesting the Ethnic Relations Commission’s T10 Tape ball Harmony League have now been reduced to four; and those are: The Guards, Lil Rams, Movements Family (Mahdia), and CJIA Warriors.
Considered the best of the best, these teams would be vying for the championship title in the finals of this tournament, which would be held today at the Everest Cricket Club.
The first semifinal will be contested between The Guards and Lil Rams at 09:30h; then the Movements Family would be coming up against CJIA Warriors from 11:30h.
The final is scheduled for 15:00h.
The Guards secured their semifinal match on Saturday in a nervy win over The Organisation from Berbice, but Lil Rams and Mahdia had convincing wins over Kings and CJIA Warriors. The Warriors have progressed to the semifinal by virtue of having the best net run rate of the three losing teams.
It has been announced that FL Sport would stream the two semifinals matches and the final match.
The tournament boasts exciting rewards, including a $500,000 prize for the champions, $250,000 for the runners-up, and $100,000 for each of the two semifinalists
Individual accolades each worth $60,000 would be awarded for the Man of the Final, Most Runs, and Most Wickets, with trophies generously sponsored by Trophy Stall. There will also be a prize of $100,000 for the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.
Through this initiative, the ERC aims to build lasting connections among participants, promote mutual respect, and strengthen community ties across Guyana.
