Defending champions Kuru Kururu A will be enjoying home advantage this year, but will have to bring their A game and more in order to stave off the challenges that are expected from the other villages that will be coming with their eyes focused on the top prize of $700,000.
Second place will be worth $500,000 with third valued at $300,000 while fourth place will receive $200,000. The top three individual players will also be rewarded.
Some of the best players along the upper EBD corridor will be suiting up for their respective villages and while the rules allow for three non-village players, many of the villages have already disclosed that they are confident of winning the big prize with their villagers.
Among the villages already confirming their participation ahead of Thursday’s deadline are Kuru Kururu A and B, Laluni, Herstelling, Soesdyke, Mocha, Eccles, Swan, Waiakabra, Airport Ballers from Timehri, and Spaniards from Diamond.
