Star-studded Canada-based Guyanese softball players on show Saturday

Excitement galore is highly anticipated this Saturday at Keele Top in Toronto for another edition of the Dassy and Friends Promotion softball eight-team Inter- County one-day extravaganza. A host of Canada-based top softball players is expected to feature.

Two teams each are slated to compete from Demerara, Essequibo, Berbice and a Canadian All-Stars in both the round-arm and flick-bowling categories. According to organiser Damodar Daesrath, the stage is set to hold these sides, and he is assuring fans the day would be exciting, as a legion of top softball players from across the Greater Toronto area will be congregating there as well.
The 15-overs white ball action will bowl off at 11:00hrs with two matches being played simultaneously, one each from the round-arm and flick-bowling. Winners in the flick-bowling will receive Cdn$2,500 and a trophy, while the runners-up will take home $500 and a trophy.

For the round-arm, the champion side will pocket $2,000 and a trophy, while the runners-up would receive $500 and a trophy as well.
Daesrath, a former Guyana first-class cricket captain, once again acknowledges support of the sponsors for the day’s event, and thanks the teams in advance for their participation.
Apart from the on-field showdown, Daesrath, who also represented Canada at the international level, informed that there will be some side attraction, especially with the performance of Trio Sisters from Foot Steps Dance Academy, while musical entertainment would be provided throughout the day.
He notified, too, that all COVID measures would be in place, and asks everyone attending to comply.
Some players are: former Guyana and West Indies cricketer Royston Crandon, Devon Ramnauth, Hemnarine Chattergoon, Azib Alli Hanif, Troy Gobin and Dillon Heyliger, among others.
