THE Guyana Committee of Services last Sunday held a successful `After Mash’ table tennis tournament at the Malteenoes Sports Club.
The tournament was arranged by former national table tennis player Godfrey Leacock in conjunction with Stanley Jones and the ever-popular Linden `Jumbie’ Jones of the Guyana Committee of Services.

The tournament took the form of a handicap tournament with the more experienced players playing with varying handicaps against the lesser experienced ones.
Among the participants were national players Christopher Franklin, Krystian Sahadeo and former national player Donald Duff.

The three above named players ended in a three-way tie for first place with Franklin defeating Duff but losing to Sahadeo, who then lost to Duff. All three matches ended 2-1 in the best-of-three format.
The tournament was live streamed and cash incentives were presented to the winners by Joseph Ramkumar of the Guyana Committee of Services.

Ramkumar noted he was pleased with competitiveness of the tournament as was evidenced by the final result.
“Our next tournament is set for Bartica for later this month when our team be traveling up there during the Regatta activities.

The final of the Table Tennis tournament is set for March 30. We have also planned a ‘games show’ as part of our fund-raising venture and the first prize is a television set,” informed Ramkumar. (Sean Devers)
