The Georgetown Softball Cricket League Inc (GSCL), organisers of the second edition of the Prime Ministers T20 Softball Cup, are reminding interested teams that the deadline for registration is Sunday, September 30.
Wellman and champions Regal Masters will resume their rivalry in the PM T20 Cup 2
The inaugural tournament in 2017 attracted a staggering 20 teams, with 12 in the Masters’ Over-45 category and the remaining eight in the All-Star category. The overall number of teams in 2018 is expected to increase significantly, with interest being shown by teams from as far away as Canada, New York and Florida, besides the interest being generated by the best local talents from across the country.
The GSCL is also reminding teams that no registration fee is required, but lots are up for grabs, with more than $2 million being at stake. The prize money in each category has increased from 2017, with the All Stars champions set to take home $700,000, while the Masters champions will pocket $600,000. What’s more, the Most Valuable Player in each category will win a Hero Motorcycle and a 55-inch smart television set respectively.
Speed Boat All-Stars are the defending Open champions, and Regal Masters are the holders of the Masters’ title. The tournament will run from October 19 to 21, with games scheduled to be played across Georgetown.
The tournament has so far attracted local and international sponsors, including Banks Beer, Hero Motor Cycle, Regal Stationery and Computer Centre, Encore Consulting Corporation of South Florida, Atlantic Southern Trade, and Rica Juice.
Teams are urged to call the GSCL on 225-4802 or 610-7902 for more information and registration details.
