The Guyana Floodlights Softball Cricket Association yesterday launched its third annual Guyana Softball Cup International Tournament with a winner’s purse of $800,000 and other prizes up for grabs.

Local teams, as well as teams from the US and Canada are again participating in this event, executives said at the launching ceremony of the tournament, held at the Georgetown Cricket Club. Both executives and sponsors recalled previous success and hoped for a similar outcome this year.

Secretary of the tournament body Lalta Gainda said the tournament is highly rated and respected both here and overseas.
