THE Guyana’s senior men’s and women’s table tennis teams finished with bronze at the Caribbean Championships which wrapped up at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue, on Saturday.

The men’s team, comprising Shemar Britton, Elishaba Johnson, Paul David and Jonathan Van Lange, had produced a major upset by beating regional powerhouse Dominican Republic 3-2 in the quarter-final.

However, their quest for further glory was cut short as they lost 0-3 to Puerto Rico in the semi-final.

Similarly, the women’s quartet of Olympian Chelsea Edghill, Natalie Cummings, Thuraia Thomas and Jasmin Billingy, lost 0-3 to Cuba in their semi-final.

However, the semi-final finish is good enough to secure a spot at the Pan American Championships.

Earlier in the week, Guyana also qualified for the Central American and Caribbean Games.

The Caribbean Junior Championships commences on Monday at the aforementioned venue.
