Guyoil/Castrol has given a helping hand to the national Shotokan karate team to attend the 8th ISKF/CKC Karate Championships which will be hosted by the St. Lucia Shotokan Karate Association.
The tournament will be held at the Beausejour Indoor Sporting Facility in St. Lucia from August 13 to 16.
The 12-member national team includes last year’s World Championships medallists Kemo Cornelius, Kristina Cheeks, Leah Shariff, Christy Dey, Samuel Ming, Eric Hing and Shane Wilkinson.
The other members of the team are Nathalie Gibson, Mikhail Broomes, Darien Dey and Lloyd Gibson, all of whom won medals at the local championships in June this year.
At the handing over ceremony at the YMCA dojo, Castrol Brands Manager, Leonard Khan and Retails Sales Officer, Jacqueline James, encouraged the team members to continue to do well and to fly the flag of Guyana proudly as they have done at previous World Championships.
Sensei Amir Khouri, who will accompany the team, expressed thanks on behalf of the association for assisting the team and promised that the members would perform to the best of their ability at the championships.
