GUYANA’S male and female teams have advanced to the quarter-finals of the 2018 IBF Antilles U18 Championship, which bounced off last evening at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.

The Guyanese quartet of Akeem Crandon, Andrew Johnson, Nigel Bowen and Shamar France opened with an impressive 11-7 win over French Guiana, but fell 5-11 to Martinique in their second group-stage game.

The result was good enough to see them advance to the final day of the annual championship, where they will face St Lucia at 14:15hrs.

Over in the women’s category, Annalisa Barclay, Saffiya Greene, Lydia Roberts and Roschelle Campbell got off to a flying start with a 4-2 win over St Lucia, and followed up a 14-0 blowout victory over Aruba.

The local ladies were however humbled 4-8 by Barbados, who had played undefeated in their three group games, and as per tournament rules, have progressed to the semi-finals based on their win-record.
In today’s quarter-finals, Guyana’s female team will face Guadeloupe from 14:30hrs.
