After winning the Men’s doubles in the 2023 Latin American and Caribbean World Cup of Darts qualifiers Event earlier this month in San Jose, Costa Rica, Guyanese Sudesh Fitzgerald and veteran Norman Madhoo have qualified for the Professional Darts Corporation World Cup of Darts in Germany from June 15-18.

The experienced Guyanese pair beat Andres Montero and Diego Orozco of Costa Rica on Saturday night in the male’s doubles category.

However, their participation at the World Cup is in limbo due to lack of funds.

The GDA is appealing to the government and Corporate Guyana for sponsorship of the $1.7M needed for their participation in the most prestigious Darts tournament in the world.

The pair of Madhoo, a former National Champion for over a decade, and Fitzgerald, who is the current national champion since 2018, will aim to put Guyana on the Map in the sport of Darts.
According to the GDA, the Association has approached the Director of Sport and a few other businesses for sponsorship but they are awaiting a response.

Those desirous of contributing can contact the Association’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Edward Richmond, on telephone number 592-600-4694.

Meanwhile, the GDA joined the many others in sending their condolences to the families and friends on the victims of the Mahdia Secondary School fire as the nation mourns with Mahdia.
