A power packed 13-member team has been selected to represent Guyana at the Americas/Caribbean Cup in Trinidad and Tobago from July 6-16.
With representatives from Guyana who have excelled in the past and a few titles under their belt, the Guyanese contingent is expected to return home with many accolades.
The male team will consist of reigning singles champion Sudesh Fitzgerald, Luis Miguel Ramirez, Lallchand Rambharose, Norman Madhoo, Adrian Damon, Fedel Hunter and Andrew Balchand. On the other hand, the female team comprises of Mary Correia, Melisa Smartt, Shondell Hyles, Hemwantie Balchand and Victorine Chandro.
Sudesh Fitzgerald
Additionally, Guyana will also be defending their men’s doubles title which is currently being held by Sudesh Fitzgerald and Luis Miguel Ramirez. The team will be managed by Sheik Yassen, whilst Dr Terence Joseph acts as assistant manager.
Preparations for the champions are currently in full swing, with a number of the selected players producing top notch performances at a recently concluded game.
On the men’s side, Sudesh Fitzgerald expectantly came out on top with Anil Lachman and Sherwyn Greene, following in second and third place. Melisa Smartt conquered the female category whilst Shondell Hyles and Victorine Chandro ended as the runners up.
Although the teams are well prepared to represent Guyana, they are still lacking funds to travel to the twin island republic. And as such, they are urging for the support of benevolent persons to assist in covering their travel expenses. The man to watch will be Sudesh Fitzgerald who has had international success in the sport. Aside from being successful at the Caribbean and South American levels, Fitzgerald has represented the Region four times at the World Professional Darts Championships (PDC) in London.
