Guyana’s male and female table tennis teams after producing moments of brilliance to advance to the round of 16 of the ongoing Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast Australia, was knocked out at that very stage after coming up against powerhouses Canada and Singapore, respectively.
Both the male and female teams at the beginning of the day needed to get past Ghana and Vanuatu respectively to keep their hopes alive of advancing in the tournament after both teams had lost to England teams in their opening matches.
For the men, it was a breeze as they defeated Ghana by a 3-1 score line, coming from a match down after Nigel Bryan dropped the first match Derek Abrefa 2-11, 11-9, 2-11, 10 – 12.
