The 2018 edition of the Guyana Table Tennis Association (GTTA) National Junior and Senior Table Tennis championships which will serve off from May 20, comes at an opportune time to reignite interest in the sport once again.
The tournament has been absent for the last two years which may have influenced a shift in the interest of a number of the game’s most promising young racket wielders.
A few have veered towards the path of cricket and are acquitting themselves admirably. While that speaks to their versatility, a move to turn their backs entirely against the sport will undoubtedly hurt the racket sport in Guyana.
