SuperBet Guyana, Metro Office and Computer Supplies, and Demerara Mutual Life Assurance Society Limited are the latest corporate entities to support the second edition of the Kares One Guyana T10 Tapeball Blast.
A total of 32 of the top teams will battle for local tapeball supremacy at venues in Georgetown and East Coast Demerara next month.
At recent handing-over ceremonies, representatives from the companies expressed delight in supporting the tournament, given it reaches the communities and families and offers a “bottom-up approach” to the development of cricket.
