The annual Florida Cup is slated for March 11-13 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, and the Guyana Floodlight Softball Cricket Association (GFSCA) will field three teams at the competition.

This year the Guyana Consulate in Miami in collaboration with South Florida Softball Cricket League (SFSCL) is hosting the tournament as Guyana celebrates 50 years of Independence.

Preliminary rounds in the Masters and Open categories will be played at Brian Picollo Park in Cooper City on March 11 and 12. Both category finals will be played on March 13 at the Fort Lauderdale Cricket Stadium.

This year, the GFSCA will feature three teams. GFSCA’s Wolf Warriors will be making their debut in the Open Category, while Floodlights and Floodlights Legends will be playing in the Masters.

GFSCA’s Wolf Warriors were champions of the Open, while Floodlights were champions of the Masters in the 2014 edition of Guyana Softball Cup 4, played in Guyana. Floodlights were also champions in New York at 2015 Independence and Legends Cup when they defeated Regal Masters in the final.

Floodlights, Floodlights Legends and GFSCA’s Wolf Warriors are expected to give fierce competition to the teams from Florida, New York and Canada.
