OVER $65,000 in cash and prizes will be at stake when the Trinidad and Tobago Windball Cricket Association bowls off on October 1 at Constantine Park, Macoya, Tunapuna.
The competition will be the first ever national windball cricket league and was initially scheduled to begin on August 20 at the same venue before expected government funding delayed the start.
The TTWCL has partnered with the Ministry of Sports and will be inviting the league’s public relations officer Keisha Davis. She said, players are to be selected based on the region in which they live, and not because they are members of the club as it is a criteria of the competition.
This means that the different leagues will be responsible for the teams that are selected to represent it.
A total of 16 teams will contest the series with the winners to get $15,000.
Runners-up will receive $12,000 while the third placed team gets $5,000 and a trophy.
However teams eliminated early in the tournament also stand to collect handsomely for the one-day contest.
The teams expected to take part are Sangre Grande/Manzanilla, Arima, Toco/Valencia, Caroni/Chaguanas/Cunupia, Couva/Marabella/Claxton Bay, Tobago, Princes Town/Rio/Claro Mayaro, San Fernando/Cedros/La Brea/Siparia, Diego Martin/St James/Port of Spain, San Juan/Barataria, St Joseph/Bamboo, Curepe/St Augustine, Tacarigua, Arouca, Piarco/St Helena/Las Lomas and Tunapuna.
