Guyana’s female and male table tennis contingent had to settle for silver in the team’s event of the 60th edition of the Caribbean Table Tennis Federation (CTTF) Senior Championships after suffering finals defeat against powerhouse Dominican Republic in Jamaica last evening.
The females lost their encounter 0-3 with Chelsea Edghill failing to find a way past Yasiris Ortiz in a match she lost 1-3 while Trenace Lowe went down to Eva Brito by a similar score line.
Natalie Cummings, however, took Emerly Castro to five sets before losing 2-3.
The males also went down to the Dominican Republic in 1-3 with Shemar Britton collecting the consolation win against the reigning Caribbean Champion Samuel Galvez.
In the semifinals, however, the females defeated Trinidad and Tobago 3- 0 while the males came back from a 0-2 deficit to upstage Barbados 3-2 to book their place in the final.
