Top Guyana Volleyball club The Guysuco Training Centre/ Port Mourant (GTCPM) recently return from Suriname after taking part in the Yellow bird Volleyball Club 50th Anniversary volleyball tournament which was held in Paramaribo Suriname.
All though they did not win they performed creditable and won the hearts of Dutch supporters which were enough to keep their heads and Guyana Flag high. According to a release from the club, “The team was placed in the group of death and did not make their way out but gave a creditable performance as they gave all their opponents a run for their money.”
GTC/PM first came up against top team and host Yellow Birds of Suriname and went down (1-2) in a nail biting cliff hanger in what was described as one of the best games of the tournament. After losing the first set 11-15. GTC/PM bounced back to squeeze out the second set 15-13 with the final and deciding set going down to the wire 15-12.
The GTC/PM good showing against the seasoned Yellow Bird combination was credited to excellent team work, with Creston Rodney however being credited for his all round play; for his serve, blocks, spikes and good defence.
GTC/PM then took on Lyzecks and lot (0-2) in two close games with the scores being 13-15, 13-15 and again Rodney and Quacy Matterson were the stand outs.
According to the club, “There were a lot of lessons learned during the tournament which exhibited a high standard of play and organizing.” It stated that, “The Dutch teams were better prepared but, GTC/PM was given a lot of support from the Dutch crowd for their fighting spirit.” Participating teams were drawn from French  Guiana, Martinique, Trinidad, Brazil and host Suriname.
GTC/PM by virtue of being the best placed finisher for local teams in the last GVF/ Trade Wind Tankers International Tourney last November was invited to represent Guyana. The team was coached by former Guyana National player and present Head Coach Levi Nedd.  The Manager was Godwyn Allicock.
