“Police is back in the tournament. Of the ten teams, we created two zones: Zone A and Zone B where Cavaliers will be taking on Falcons in the opening game from Sunday, February 5th at 2 pm. We will have an opening ceremony at lunchtime before the first game. The tournament is scheduled to go for 14 weeks Including the semis and the finals,” he said.
Bharat also spoke about the positive impact that the tournament will have on the East End/Long Look community with the return of cricket in the area.
He said, “We are trying to go bigger and better. People have been asking from day one for cricket. A lot of people are looking for something to do on Sundays and it’s a very nice and relaxing atmosphere in Greenland. We normally have 2 games per day.”
The Group A teams include Cavaliers, RTW Falcons, Grenada, Vikings and Police while the Group B teams include Royal Knights, Combined Renegades, Vincy, Under the Tree, and Rising Stars.
