Softball tournament slated for Linden is powered by Sinclair Foundation

The new year would bring a new tournament to the mining town of Linden, as local organisers team up with the Kevin Sinclair Foundation to stage a male and female softball cricket tournament.
This one-day event would see four male teams and four female teams competing for over 1 million in cash and prizes in the ten overs-a- side format.
The male teams comprise Speightland, Hill Foot Vipers, Kiruni Defenders, and South Stars, while the female teams comprise Supreme Stars, 4R, Wiruni Conquerors and Young Warriors.
West Indies and Guyana all-rounder Kevin Sinclair, under whose charitable Foundation this tournament would be sponsored, has expressed excitement at being able to do something to benefit the mining town.
“So, this is our fourth project. Really excited to go and spread the love in Linden.

Like I said, the foundation is basically to touch people’s lives and bring joy and happiness throughout Guyana. So, that’s the aim, and I will continue to spread my arms as far as I can,” Sinclair shared in an invited comment.
The all-rounder added, “Like I always mention, the slogan is ‘Aspire to make a difference’, and this project is going to be a good one for the people in Linden. It was a long time planning to do something away from Georgetown.”
Aside from position prizes, individual accolades for the best bowler, highest run- getter and best fielder are also up for grabs.
While no official date has been announced for the start of the tournament, organizers are eyeing the New Year. Sinclair, meanwhile, is already mulling his Foundation’s next stop, which he hopes to be in Essequibo.
“My next goal is to go to Essequibo and do something there for the people in that county as a part of the Foundation,” he disclosed to this publication.
