New York Enforcers celebrates Guyana Florida Cup Victory
Key Points(5)
  • <b><i></i></b>It was sweet sweet victory for the New York Enforcers in more ways than one this past Sunday at the 2016 Florida Cup All-Stars Championship finals, held at the Central Broward Regional Park.
  • The Enforcers swept the all-star pack, neatly defeating the much favored South Florida Softball Cricket League (SFSCL) All-Stars with 82 runs from 3 wickets from 12.2 overs.
  • Batsman Vickey Sugrim particularly stood out with a quickfire 43 runs.
  • When it was their turn up to bat, the SFSCL was bowled all out with 81 ones, thanks to a stellar performance from Enforcer Captain and tournament bowling MVP, Balieram Beharry.
  • This marks a first Florida Cup win for the New York Enforcers, and a particularly poignant one, as the tournament was dedicated in honor of Guyana celebrating 50 years of independence this year.

It was sweet sweet victory for the New York Enforcers in more ways than one this past Sunday at the 2016 Florida Cup All-Stars Championship finals, held at the Central Broward Regional Park.

The Enforcers swept the all-star pack, neatly defeating the much favored South Florida Softball Cricket League (SFSCL) All-Stars with 82 runs from 3 wickets from 12.2 overs. Batsman Vickey Sugrim particularly stood out with a quickfire 43 runs. When it was their turn up to bat, the SFSCL was bowled all out with 81 ones, thanks to a stellar performance from Enforcer Captain and tournament bowling MVP, Balieram Beharry.

This marks a first Florida Cup win for the New York Enforcers, and a particularly poignant one, as the tournament was dedicated in honor of Guyana celebrating 50 years of independence this year. The Enforcers are deeply dedicated to giving back to children in Guyana through their Enforcer charity. Their organization donates much needed supplies to homes and orphanages that care for the homeless children in Guyana.

Throughout its three years, the Enforcer Charity have already donated over 90 barrels of food and clothing for over 700 children in 23 orphanages, and over 300 children in 12 villages. Captain Beharry has pledged that a portion of their $4000 prize will be dedicated to continuing the team’s charity work.
