Transcend Entertainment Tape-ball Tournament postponed

With more than 20 teams having signalled their interest in competing in the third annual Transcend Entertainment Seven-a-Side Independence Cricket Festival which was scheduled to be held from May 5-6 at the National Cultural Centre Tarmac in Georgetown, this event has had to be postponed because of unforeseen circumstances beyond the control of both organisers and sponsors.
In an interview with Guyana Times Sport, event organiser Dwight Dodson said, “Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we regrettably inform you that Transcend Entertainment Independence Cricket Festival has been postponed until further notice. We deeply apologise, but we really couldn’t do anything about it. Please stay tuned to be updated accordingly.”
Although the tournament has been postponed, three new sponsors have come on board in support of the venture. They are Regal Stationery & Computer Centre, Movement Auto Rental & Bus Service, and Sankar’s Auto Works.
Some of the teams expected to participate in the tournament are Team Corruption, Village Rams, Tallawahs United, Tarmac, Eccles All Stars, Outlaws, and Hangover. There are many others who would be participating.
Dodson has also said the tournament is an initiative to provide opportunity for players to continue their cricket, even with the current weather pattern. He related that during the May-June rainy season, there is a decrease in hardball cricket being played as most grounds are washed out.
This event, which has gained support of the National Sports Commission (NSC), is so far sponsored by Superbet, Banks DIH, Ramps Logistics Ltd, Imperial Trading, Red Carpet Wash Bay, Regal Stationery and Computer Centre, Star Party Rentals, Xavier’s Investment, Movement Auto Sales, Precision Auto Works, W&J Enterprise, Fung-a-Fatt Hatchery, Ole’s Jewellery, Seeta’s Bar, Regent Household Electronics, Royal Real Estate, Church’s Chicken, Fireside Grill, Magic City, S&D Enterprises, Movement Auto Rental & Bus Service, and Sankar’s Auto Works.
