For the second consecutive year Y.K. Investments has maintained its support of the Three Peat Promotions coordinated ‘Guinness Cage Street-ball Championships.

Yesterday, the company donated an undisclosed sum to the organisers at their Regent Street location.  Managing Director of the establishment, Marlon Yenkana, handed over the sponsorship cheque to Rawle Welch, Principal of Three Peat Promotions.

Welch, during brief remarks, thanked the company for   continuing its contribution, declaring that the tournament will be executed in a professional and disciplined manner.

He added that the contribution of the company illustrates their commitment to community and sport development and said that the intention of the promotional group is to maintain and build on the relationship between the two entities.

The five-day tournament dubbed ‘the East Coast Best versus the Rest’ commences August 8th at the Haslington Market Tarmac. The remaining playing dates are August 11th, 18th, 25th and September 1st.

Twenty-four teams will contest the competition with a minimum of 12 chosen from East Coast villages. The remaining participants will emanate from Georgetown, Linden and West Demerara.

Every night there will have a winner among the fans and this will be the fan that buys the most buckets of the sponsor’s beverages.
