ExxonMobil pumps $4 million into the School Tapeball tournament

Students, teachers, along with organizers and sponsors, at the launch of the inaugural Future Warriors Tapeball Tournament for Primary Schools

The inaugural Future Warriors Tapeball Tournament, a primary school event that the title sponsor, ExxonMobil, has seen as an investment in youth and their future, was officially launched yesterday at the National Library in Georgetown.

In a pilot initiative, 12 primary schools from Georgetown will compete in the inaugural two-day tournament set for September 9 and 10. The ultimate prize at this point is that the winning team will be “adopted” by the Guyana Amazon Warriors during the home leg.

The Amazon Warriors will arrive in Guyana on Monday, September 11, and play their first home match on September 13 and the last group match four days later.
