The heavy rains that started in Georgetown on Friday night and continued on Saturday has taken its toll on sport in the city and has forced another postponement.
The Guyana Floodlights Softball Cricket Association’s (GFSCA) final of the Nauth’s Motor Spares, Trophy Stall and Mike’s Pharmacy softball tournament which were scheduled for today at the Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) ground in Queenstown will now be played at a date to be announced soon due to flooding at the venue.
When organizers visited the ground on Saturday, the water accumulation was too much to contemplate any activities today forcing the postponement.
GFSCA Organizing Secretary, Wayne Jones
Ever since the semi-finals last December, the excitement was brewing in the three categories of competition and teams and spectators will have to wait a bit longer.
In the Male Open final, Speed Boat were down to compete with dark horses, Success Sports Club for $100,000 winning purse while in the Male Masters Category, Wellman Masters were set to lock horns with the star-studded Regal Masters also for $100,000.
The four female teams; Trophy Stall Angels, Blue Divas, Wellwoman and 4R Lioness that were also set to clash for the winning purse of $50,000 and bragging rights will also have to exercise patience at least for another week.
Organizing Secretary of GFSCA, Wayne Jones said they are disappointed with the postponement but have no control over the weather. Jones said they will make every effort to have the final complete for this tournament which started in 2017 since the association need to get on with the business of the current year as early as possible.
