IT was a busy weekend for Guyana’s top male and female players – Narayan Ramdhani and Priyanna Ramdhani – as the pair participated in the 2019-2020 ACAC (Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference) Tournament held in Olds Alberta, Canada.
The Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference is the governing body for collegiate sports in Alberta, Canada. It was founded in 1964.
Narayan Ramdhani, playing for the Kings University Eagles, won the second place in the Men’s singles and fifth place in the Mix doubles.
Priyanna Ramdhani, playing for the Olds College Broncos, won the third place in Women singles and seventh place in the Mix doubles.
