Kevin Sinclair Foundation to host softball tournament in Linden

The new year will bring a new tournament to the Mining Town of Linden with local organisers teaming up with the Kevin Sinclair Foundation to stage a male and female softball cricket tournament.

The one-day event will see four male teams and four female teams competing for over one million dollars in cash and prizes in a 10-over-a-side format.

The male teams will be Speightland, Hill Foot Vipers, Kiruni Defenders and South Stars, while on the female side, Supreme Stars, 4R, Wiruni Conquerors and Young Warriors will head into battle.

Guyana and West Indies all- founder Kevin Sinclair, under whose charitable foundation the tournament will be sponsored, expressed his excitement at being able to do something to benefit the 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 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 a press release.

Sinclair 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-scorer and best fielder are also up for grabs.

The official dates are yet to be confirmed.

Meanwhile, Sinclair 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,” the cricketer added.
