Guyana failed to qualify for the elimination round out of Group-B at the Islamic Solidarity Games in Konya, Turkey, incurring mixed results in their concluding two pool matches yesterday at the Karatay Congress and Sports Centre to finish in 9th place.

Requiring victories in their remaining fixtures to keep their hopes alive, Guyana went down to eventual group winner and unbeaten outfit Iran 21-12 in their third outing. Harold Adams top scored with seven points, while Nikkoloi Smith, and Stanton Rose tallied three and two points respectively.
