With just days to go before the seventh edition of the tournament bowls off, proprietor of Steve’s Jewellery Steve Naraine presented the tournaments’ Most Valuable Players (MVP) prizes to representatives of the Guyana Floodlight Softball Cricket Association at the company’s Church street location on Tuesday.
The Steve’s Jewellery prizes which are now major parts of the annual tournament has evolved from a a gold bracelet for each category to gold pendants shaped like cricket bats studded with diamonds to which Naraine gave an estimated cost of $100,000 each.
GFSCA member Surendra Nauth commended Naraine and his company for devotedly supporting the premier international softball tournament, noting that the prizes will go a far way in encouraging the players to play to their optimal.
