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 June 15-18.

After the hard work the pair had to do to win an international qualifying tournament , their participation in the main event is in limbo due to lack of funds.

On Thursday, the hopes of the Guyana Darts Association (GDA) participating in Germany was significantly lifted when the Association paid a visit to Director of Sport Steve Ninvalle.

According to GDA’s Public Relations Officer (PRO) Edward Richmond, the Association needs approximately $ 6.7 million and , Ninvalle, on behalf of the NSC and the Guyana Government, which is very supportive of Sports since they came into Office, promised to assist a ‘significant’ amount of the cost for airfares, accommodation, meals and transpiration.

The 36-year-old Fitzgerald and veteran 59-year-old Madhoo will have little time to prepare mentally for Germany where they are expected to be very competitive when they represent not only Guyana but Latin America and the Caribbean.

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