Just recently, Guyana’s over-50 team went to the twin island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago to play a tournament against their over 50 team.
The Guyanese team returned home celebrating their victory despite the challenging games with the highly talented Trinidadian over 50 team.

Captain of the team, Alfred Mekdeci, told Chronicle Sport, “I can attribute the team’s success to three main things: the tenacity and experience of our team and the strategic plan that we hatched.
I also know how to motivate people and that may have played a part in our success. Our guys are experienced because they have played so many tournaments over the years, hence they are well prepared; mentally and physically.

According to Mekdeci, who plays from a wheelchair due to an injury sustained almost 30 years ago, “We also play younger teams around Guyana including Berbice, Bartica, Leonora Police and West Demerara clubs and we play many tournaments among ourselves. Other Caribbean countries have expressed interest in playing against us and will either come here or we will go to them.”
