The Guyana Floodlights Softball Cricket Association (GFSCA) will send two teams to participate in the New York Softball Cricket League (NYSCL) Independence/Legend Cup softball tournament from June 30 – July 2 at the Canarsie Park, Brooklyn, USA.
The two teams are Floodlights and Floodlights Legends.
According to a release from the GFSCA, most of the players are already in New York and the few remaining will leave early in the week.
Floodlights are coming off a rich vein of form after capturing the inaugural Orlando Premier League title played in March in Orlando, Florida.
Floodlights, in the past, were also crowned champions of the 2015 Legends Cup tournament. They, however, were piped out in last July’s final by local rivals Regal Masters.
The side, however, is confident of adding this year’s title to their silverware collection even as multiple teams from the USA, Canada and Guyana aim to dethrone the reigning champions.
Ricky Deonarain will skipper Floodlights and Dharam Persaud Floodlights Legends. Hubert Evans is the coach of both teams.
The two teams will come from:- Uniss Mohamed Yousuf, Ramo Malone, Ramesh Narine, Lloyd Ruplall, Wayne Jones, Kamraj Sumair, Robert Mohan, Mahesh Lutchman, Tulshi Lutchman, Vishawnauth Lutchman, Anil Beharry, Goordial Mattai, Ricky Deonarain, Jagdish Persaud, Dharam Persaud, Lakhram Singh, Gopaul Boj-Raj, Jailall Doedass, Vivakenand Ramsaywack, Nadir Baksh, Mohan Sukhu, Richard Persaud, Surendra Nauth, Armogan Gopaul, Unos Baksh, Teekchand Madho and Ramchand Ragbeer.
