“(Andrew) Daly ran from the Championships,” Munroe quipped.
However, he noted that GTTA achieved all its objectives while stating that more needs to be done to make the Championships a big one on the association’s calendar of competitions.
He said that the ‘sports for life’ philosophy is part of the Olympic solidarity mandate, which seek to promote sport in more social environments. He said that is especially important for a transition of knowledge from the older generation to the new one.
The objectives of the GTTA Inter-Organisation tournament included: (a) fostering camaraderie among staff members of companies; (b) developing partnerships and creating links; (c) creating an understanding and appreciation of the roles between the respective organisations and sectors; (d) promoting healthy lifestyles through sport.
NP Electronics won the Teams’ title in the competition while Stabroek News’, Donald Duff won the Singles accolade. NP Electronics won 3-2 against the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) ‘A’ team, while Duff defeated GDF’s Rhono Joseph in the solo effort.
