Badminton team off to CAREBACO tourney
The Guyana Badminton team take time out for a photo prior to their departure.
A National 8-Member Junior Badminton Team left Guyana to attend the Caribbean Badminton Championships (CAREBACO) to be held in Dominican Republic August 19-27.
Guyana won 4 silvers and 1 bronze last year at this tournament held in Barbados.
The Junior Team recently attended the Pan American Junior Championships in Alberta Canada July 24-30, bringing back two Bronze and one Silver and Guyana was the only Caribbean Country that medaled among the 16 countries that took part.
The Team Members are: Kevin Quaicoe (Captain), Greer Jackson (Vice Captain), Narayan Ramdhani, Priyanna Ramdhani, Omari Joseph, Arian Kayume, Cindy Sookwah and Gokarn Ramdhani (Manager/Coach).
The Team is expected to do well in this tournament and they will be taking part in the Boys & Girls Singles, Boys & Girls Doubles and Mixed Doubles in the Under-11, 13, 15, 17 & 19 Events.
The GBA is pleased with the development of the Junior Players over the years and will continue with the Junior Drive that has put Guyana on the Map and very well respected among the Pan American and Caribbean Badminton Circuits.
Guyana’s only qualified badminton coach, Gokarn Ramdhani, who is a level three coach trained at the Hungarian, Pan American & China Badminton institutes, had been over the years trying to get Badminton at the top level and the results are paying off with Guyana medaling at most High Level International Tournaments attended in the last six years.
The GBA would like to thank the following for their support: Bel Air Texaco Service Station, DeSinco Trading, Guyana Olympic Association and Industrial Safety Supplies Inc.
