Madhoo, Fitzgerald guide Guyana to historic World Cup of Darts appearance
Kaieteur Sports – The Golden Arrowhead will be flying high at this year’s World Cup of Darts in Frankfurt after Norman Madhoo and Sudesh Fitzgerald booked the country’s ticket to Germany at the regional Darts Doubles elimination competition.
The competition, hosted by Championship Darts Latin America and Caribbean (CDLC) and the Professional Darts Corporation (PDC), saw nine countries from Latin America and the Caribbean region battle it out for the chance to represent their region at the upcoming PDC World Cup of Darts in Deutschland in June.
Among the participating countries were powerhouses such as Brazil, Chile, Panama, Jamaica, and hosts Costa Rica.
A total of sixteen teams participated in the competition, including two teams representing Guyana; Norman Madhoo/Sudesh Fitzgerald and Rajendra Naraine/Christopher Lochan.
Both Guyanese teams performed exceptionally well, finishing the initial stages of the competition at the helm of their respective groups, defeating Brazil, Panama, Jamaica, Colombia, and Chile (amongst others) to get to the top.
However, Naraine/Lochan were eliminated in the quarterfinals against the powerful Costa Rican team.
Fitzgerald/Madhoo went on to the semi-finals against the same Costa Rican team and, in the most toughly-contested game of the tournament, were able to advance to the finals.

Once in the finals, the Guyanese team easily crushed all remaining opposition, routing the second host team 10-1.
As a result of their impressive performance, Fitzgerald/Madhoo have earned the honour of representing not only their country but the entirety of South America, Central America, and the Caribbean at the World Cup of Darts to be held in Frankfurt, Germany in June.
The Guyana Darts Association expressed gratitude to sponsors who showed their confidence in the potential of Guyanese sportsmen and women.
These sponsors include the National Sports Commission, Massy Distribution, Mohamed’s Enterprises, Carlton Ambrose Enterprises, Eureka Labs, Cummings Electrical, Guyana Manioc Development Ltd., Le Grille, Cyril’s Transportation Services, and others.
