Guyana’s national table tennis team is set to begin its campaign at the XXV Central American and Caribbean Games in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, with the men’s team scheduled to face Guatemala on Saturday.
The Guyanese men will return to action on Sunday against host nation the Dominican Republic as they seek to advance from the team stage of the regional competition.
Guyana’s squad features Shemar Britton, Elishaba Johnson, Niran Bissu and Malachi Moore in the men’s division, while Chelsea Edghill and Jasmine Billingy will represent the country in the women’s events.
The players are expected to compete across the men’s team, singles and doubles competitions, along with the women’s singles and doubles and the mixed doubles events.
