THE Titans Table Tennis Club has collaborated with Guyana Beverages Inc. to stage the two-day tournament September 8-9.

Dubbed the VIVA Water Slammer Rammer Junior Table Tennis tournament, the event takes place at Marian Academy with several categories to be contested.

At the official launch on Thursday morning, president of the Titans Table Tennis Club and former national player Dwain Dick highlighted that 11 categories will be contested, inclusive of 10 juniors and B Class.

The juniors will compete in the Boys and Girls Under-9, Under-11, Under-13, Under-15 and Under-18 divisions.

VIVA Water Brand Manager, Raymond Govinda, said Guyana Beverages Inc. is committed to supporting the growth and development of the country’s youths through their participation in sport.

“Over the years we would have invested in other sports such as cricket, football, boxing (and) athletics, just to name a few. This year we’re elated to partner with the Titans Table Tennis Club to host the first-ever VIVA Water Slammer Rammer Junior Table Tennis tournament,” Govinda said.

Apart from Guyana Beverages Inc., the club has been able to solicit support from Netsurf Telecom, Beacon Snackette, Metro, Power Producers and Distributors Inc., General Industrial Supplies and Enterprise, the Outar Family and Paul David of the USA.

Registration will take place between 08:00hrs and 09:00hrs on September 8 after which competitive action will serve off.
