Dec 09, 2009 Letters, Sports

Dear Editor,
Please allow me once again to correct Stabroek News Sports Reporter Rawle Toney in Sunday Edition of the Stabroek News. Mr. Toney’s article Basketball waiting on something amazing to happen tells a lot about Guyanese stalwarts of yesteryear and asked same telling questions of the David Patterson led G.A.B.F but in the trend setter section of the article young Toney mentioned that the Land of Many Waters played in seven C.B.C Championships both males and females.
For the records Guyana males to date have participated in eleven C.B.C Championships since the Inaugural tournament in Jamaica.  They appeared in:
1981-1982 Jamaica
1985 Barbados
1986 Trinidad & Tobago
1988 Guyana
1991 Jamaica
1194 Guyana
1995 Bahamas
1996 Trinidad & Tobago
2000 Barbados
2007 Puerto Rico
Mr. Toney also mentioned that Guyana had three third place finishes at the C.B.C level 1981, 1996, 2000. The records will show that the Land of Many Waters lost to Bahamas for the third place at the 1996 tournament in Trinidad & Tobago.
Guyana lost to Bahamas 133 – 120, captain Lugard Mohan 22 points, Rawlwin Loncke 22 points, Remington Ram 18 points and Lorenzo Withrite 16 points and for the best placing for males at the C.B.C level Mr. Toney, it is not 1992 but 1994.
Mr. Toney who was part of the Junior Caricom Team in (1999) mentioned that the Bernard Daniels coached side included the following players Louise Simon, Randolph Goodluck, Carey Harris and Louis Webster, but the records show that none of the above mentioned were part of the Land of Many Waters delegation that proudly represented the Golden Arrow Head.
The 1999 Team was as follows:
Dale Sauers, Co Captain – Kwakwani Secondary
Marvin Hartman – Linden Foundation
Rawle Toney – Linden Technical Institute
Wilfred Branche – East Ruimveldt Secondary
Dwayne Roberts – Wismar Christianburg
Lonsdale Paul – Richard Ishmael
Ruyaud Rahaman – School of the Nation
Allister Henry – Government Technical Institute
Carey Griffith – St. Stanislaus
Louis Alexander – New Silver City Secondary
Quacy Heywood – Charlestown Secondary
Keiron Adams
Charwayne Walker.
