THE Guyana Table Tennis Association is awaiting word from Puerto Rico on the staging of the Caribbean Mini Cadets and Pre Cadets Championships. The tournament is scheduled for the Spanish speaking island from December 16 to 20 but the GTTA is yet to receive the “prospectus” General Secretary Linden Johnson said yesterday.
“We have not heard anything concrete about the hosting of the tournament as yet. As such, we will have to await official word. The deadline is two weeks before the tournament so we still have some time,” Johnson said.
Guyana has had no international matchesin the mini and pre cadets category this year and the Puerto Rico competition is being looked at as much needed exposure for the nation’s nursery. The locals were slated to participate in the Latin American championships in Dominican Republic in September, but had to withdraw because of lack of funds.
Last year Guyana placed second in the Caribbean Championships staged at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall. Trinidad and Tobago emerged the winning team
