THE Guyanese pair of Rayad and Farzana Hussain, who opened their campaign at the 2019 World Curling Federation World Mixed Doubles Curling Championship in Stavanger, Norway, defeated the Netherlands 6-4.
Guyana made their debut at the championships last year, and according to reports out of Norway, the team had an improved second-half performance, in which they scored at all four ends.
This gave Guyana a 6-4 win over Netherlands in the opening round-robin session of the championship, and, speaking to reporters after the game, Rayad Hussain said, “It’s nice to get the campaign off on a good foot this year. The secret was to calm down! I think we were too nervous at the start, so we calmed ourselves down after the fourth end break and it felt better.”
The pair will be action again today against Austria. (Rawle Toney)
