The highly-anticipated Muslim Youth Organisation (MYO) of Guyana-Trophy Stall Inter-Jamaat Softball Cricket Competition will once again hit open the 2019 softball season with tons of action as it is scheduled to start on October 20, 2019 at the MYO Ground, Woolford Avenue, Thomas Lands, Georgetown.
Diamond New Scheme were champions in the April 2019 edition of the competition
Speaking with Guyana Times Sport, Sports Committee Chairman and Senior Vice President Imran Ally stated that the goal of the competition was to bring out the youths to do something meaningful, as from this tournament they would be able to have clean recreational fun. Fostering brotherhood through sports is the tournament’s main objective. Ally went on to state that the tournament was usually held at least two times per year and would usually have intense action from the first ball bowled.
Upon the announcement of the tournament, eight teams have registered thus far: LBI Masjid with two teams, New Mosque, Cornelia Ida Masjid, Hague Masjid, New Amsterdam Masjid, MYO and Tuschen Masjid. The competition will feature teams from Berbice; the West Coast, East Coast, and East Bank of Demerara, and Georgetown.
When the competition was held in April 2019, Diamond New Scheme Masjid were the winners as they dominated from the beginning, while MYO were runners-up. The defending champions will be looking to retain their title while MYO will be aiming to add another title to their name. The registration fee is $3000 per team, and lots of trophies and cash incentives will be at stake.
