SHARQE Ennis and Ebo McNeil emerged as the top players when the Guyana Table Tennis Association (GTTA) held its CNOOC Petroleum Guyana National Nationwide Schools Table Tennis Championships for Region 10.
The competition saw scores of student athletes turning out at the McKenzie High School auditorium seeking glory.
In the final Ebo Mc Neil defeated Oiden France for the top spot after winning the clash in straight sets 11-6 and 11-7.

In the girls U-19 category Sharqe Ennis overcame Larshil August for the gold medal place.

The competition was supported by the Department of Education of region 10 and sponsored by CNOOC Petroleum Guyana.
