GUYANA’S senior national table tennis players continued to fly the Golden Arrowhead high at the Caribbean championships in Jamaica, as Christopher Franklin and Trenace Lowe nabbed silver in the Mixed Doubles competition.

In the final, they faced the Dominican Republic pair of Isaac Vila and Esmerlyn Castro where they were defeated 8-11, 10-12, 5-11.

Earlier in the semi-final they were pushed to the hilt, but fought hard for a 3-2 win over number-one seeded pair Emil Santos and Eva Brito.

Meanwhile in the female competition, both teams won bronze medals in the Doubles.

The pair of Jody-Ann Blake and Lowe won their first match against Dadrian Lewis and Solesha Young of Jamaica 3-0. They then defeated the pair of Antoinette Riley and Janae Lewis of Barbados by a 2-0 margin.

The Guyanese duo then encountered the dangerous Esmerlyn Castro and Dhyana Rojas of Dominican Republic who thwarted their efforts with an easy 3-0 victory in the semi-finals.

Next up for the ‘Land of Many Waters’ was Chelsea Edghill and Natalie Cummings who also secured bronze, losing in the other semi-final to Eva Brito and Yasrisi Ortiz by the same margin as their teammates.

The championship now switches gear to the Under-21 Men’s and Women’s Singles where Guyana’s Chelsea Edghill, Shemar Britton and Priscilla Greaves will do battle for gold.
