Second edition of ESCL over-40 competition bowls off on Sunday

The second edition of the Essequibo Softball Cricket League (ESCL) is set to bowl off this Sunday with a number of matches being played across Region Two, Pomeroon-Supenaam.

According to ESCL Chairman Wakeel Layne, six teams have confirmed their participation in this year’s tournament.
At the inaugural competition last year, Invaders Masters emerged champions, but they will not participate on this occasion because of personal reasons. Layne has, however, said he is optimistic of another successful staging, and fans can expect great entertainment from ball one, as a plethora of top softball players would be on show.
He added that, in 2021, the entire competition was exciting and fans had a good treat, including in the final, which was played at the Reliance Sports Ground.
For this year’s edition, the winning side would receive $100,000 and a trophy, while the second-place team is set to cash in on $50,000 and a trophy. There are other prizes up for grabs.
Teams participating this year are: Ravens Sports Club, Devonshire Castle Sports Club, Hibernian Strikers, Queenstown Tigers, Caribbean Cricket Club, and Sunrisers Masters.
