Region 3 10/10 Softball Cricket Cup set for August 24 & 31

Softball players from across Region Three (Essequibo Islands–West Demerara) and beyond will once again have the opportunity to display their talent as the second edition of the annual “Region 3 Softball Cricket Cup” is scheduled for August 24 and 31 at various venues throughout the region.
The tournament will be played over two weekends. The first weekend will feature the preliminary rounds, where teams will compete for a place in the regional playoffs.

The playoffs, set for August 31st, will be held at a designated venue and will follow a one-game knockout format, with round-arm and wrist bowling styles permitted.
In the inaugural 2024 edition, the Hype Park Outlaw Softball Team from Parika emerged as the male champions, while the GCC Invaders claimed the female title. Both teams will return to defend their titles in their respective categories.
This year’s champions will receive significant rewards: the winning male team will take home $200,000, and the female champions will earn $100,000, along with trophies. Runner-up teams, MVPs, final match standouts, best bowlers (single innings), highest run-scorers (single innings), and Player-of-the-Match honourees in each game will also receive cash prizes and trophies.
According to the organisers, softball cricket remains the foundation of the sport, offering local players – especially youth – the opportunity to develop and showcase their skills.
Beyond the competition, the tournament also aims to foster community spirit by bringing people together, regardless of race, religion, social status, or political views.
Teams interested in participating must register by sending their team’s name and captain’s contact number via WhatsApp to 726-1386 by August 20.
The event promises plenty of entertainment and side attractions for the entire family.
Organisers are encouraging everyone to come out and support the tournament as it continues to unite the community through the love of sport.
