Jaguars One- Day Franchise League bowls off
THE Jaguars One- Day 50 Overs League will bowl off tomorrow and comes on the heels of the successful Jaguars 3-Day League, which witnessed Essequibo emerging as champions.
The Jaguars 3- Day Champions, Essequibo, second placed Upper Corentyne, and Lower Corentyne are expected to lead the charge in the quest to secure championship honours in 2017.
However, the competitive West Demerara, and steady and ever-improving teams such as Georgetown and Upper Demerara/East Bank can create league upsets; and league favorites such as Essequibo and Lower Corentyne will be mindful of such a threat.
, East Coast Demerara and West Berbice should not be overlooked, as they too will be seeking to establish their dominance, thereby creating a competitive environment among and between franchise teams.
Further, the competitiveness of the League is expected to be boosted by the fact that, players will be seeking to make full use of this league format, by staking their claim to selection in the 2018 Jaguars One-Day 50 Overs squad.
The Jaguars 50-Overs team will participate in the 2018 CWI Regional Nagico One Day 50- overs Tournament, which will commence towards the end of January, 2018.
The local League will witness seven preliminary rounds with four such rounds of matches being played in November, 2017 and the remaining three preliminary rounds in December, 2017.
The franchise team which finishes with the most points at the end of the preliminary rounds, will gain the right to play in the finals on 30th December, 2017.
Similarly, the second and third placed teams on conclusion of the preliminary rounds will meet in the playoffs on the 28 December, 2017.
The first round of matches will see Essequibo competing against West Berbice at the Imam Bacchus ground in Essequibo while Upper Corentyne takes on East Coast Demerara at the Port Mourant ground on the Corentyne.
Lower Corentyne will open the tournament against Georgetown at the Albion Community Centre ground, and Upper Demerara/East Bank opposing West Demerara at the Everest ground.

About the author
Guyana Diaspora Forum
We have a large database of Guyanese worldwide. Most of our readers are in the USA, Canada, and the UK. Our Blog and Newsletter would not only carry articles and videos on Guyana, but also other articles on a wide range of subjects that may be of interest to our readers in over 200 countries, many of them non-Guyanese We hope that you like our selections.
It is estimated that over one million Guyanese, when counting their dependents, live outside of Guyana. This exceeds the population of Guyana, which is now about 750,000. Many left early in the 50’s and 60’s while others went with the next wave in the 70’s and 80’s. The latest wave left over the last 20 years. This outflow of Guyanese, therefore, covers some three generations. This outflow still continues today, where over 80 % of U.G. graduates now leave after graduating. We hope this changes, and soon.
Guyanese, like most others, try to keep their culture and pass it on to their children and grandchildren. The problem has been that many Guyanese have not looked back, or if they did it was only fleetingly. This means that the younger generations and those who left at an early age know very little about Guyana since many have not visited the country. Also, if they do get information about Guyana, it is usually negative and thus the cycle of non-interest is cultivated.
This Guyana Diaspora Online Forum , along with its monthly newsletter, aims at bringing Guyanese together to support positive news, increase travel and tourism in Guyana and, in general, foster the birth of a new Guyana, which has already begun notwithstanding the negative news that grabs the headlines. As the editor and manager of the publication, I am committed to delivering Blog entries and Newsletters that are politically balanced, and focused on the positive ideas we wish to share and foster among Guyanese.
