In a bid to ensure that players continue to reap the rewards of competing in the second season of the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast, FL Sport has upped the stakes for the quarter-finals set for Sunday, August 11, at the Enmore Community Centre Ground, East Coast Demerara.

Additionally, the organisers indicated that due to unforeseen circumstances and based on discussions with sponsors, the finals and Cricket For Charity match involving President Dr. Irfaan Ali has been brought forward to Saturday, August 24.

“In 2023, we stated we want to ensure we give back more to players and fans, and this year, we have increased all of the prizes and added a hefty quarter-final payout. Each of the eight teams at Enmore will be rewarded”, John Ramsingh, Director of FL Sport, stated.
