SuperBet Guyana, Metro Office and Computer Supplies, and Demerara Mutual Life Assurance Society Limited are the latest corporate entities to support the second edition of the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast.
A total of 32 of the top teams will battle for local tapeball supremacy at venues in Georgetown and East Coast Demerara next month.
At recent handing-over ceremonies, representatives from the companies expressed delight in supporting the tournament, given it reaches the communities and families and offers a “bottom-up approach” to the development of cricket.
In addition to noting their corporate social responsibility, the companies noted that they were impressed with the quality of the inaugural tournament in 2023.
The stakes are higher than ever, with a larger prize pool this year.
The winning team will take home a whopping G$1.5 million, with G$500,000 and G$250,000 going to the runner-up and losing semi-finalists, respectively.
The tournament opens on August 3 with matches at the Police Sports Club, Queen’s College Ground and Lusignan Sports Club. The Round-of-16 follows the opening day with matches at Police and Lusignan.
Matches will be played from 09:00h, 11:00h, 13:00h and 15:00h on both days.
