Government to host ‘CPL Finals Watch Party’ at Durban Park

ON Saturday, all roads will lead to Durban Park where the Government of Guyana will host an “exciting” watch party for the finals of the Caribbean Premiere League (CPL) tournament.

According to a release, the Ministry of the Presidency’s Department of Social Cohesion, Culture, Youth and Sport will be hosting the watch party for all Guyanese who wish to come together and continue the comradery that dominated the Guyana National Stadium during the home games of the HERO Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2019.
