Guyana earned a silver medal in the boys U19 team event of the 26th Caribbean Region Table Tennis Federation Youth Championships, losing to powerhouse Dominican Republic 0-3 in the final yesterday at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue.
In the opening fixture Colin Wong went down to Rafael Cabrera 8-11, 7-11, 12-10 and 8-11.
Hopes for gold rested on the broad shoulders of 16-year-old star player Jonathan Van Lange who had taken a game off of the much vaunted, world rated number 67, Bryan Afanador, of Puerto Rico in the men’s team event.
