During a simple ceremony at the El Dorado Trading Headquarters in Kingston where the sponsorship cheque was handed over to the Federation, President of the GSSF, Ms. Vidushi
Persaud, conveyed thanks to both Tamesh and Pavasky Jagmohan.
Persaud expressed her delight at the usual unhesitating support El Dorado Trading continues to give towards building sport shooting in Guyana.
Managing Director of the company, Mr. Tamesh Jagmohan, reiterated his support to the
Federation and said he is happy to be a part of making this an annual match. He noted that as before this is a much anticipated handgun shooting event amongst both veteran
and new pistol shooters alike.
One of the attractions of this particular competition is that the competitors shooting fullpower handguns in the Limited Division will be competing for the privilege of lifting the
El Dorado Trading Steel Challenge Cup. The event challenges the shooters ability to
focus on accuracy but speed is also equally balanced to come out with good scores.
Chair of the Steel Challenge Committee, Dr. Pravesh Harry noted that the El Dorado
Trading Cup is a Challenge Trophy which will be on the prize table at this annual match
held in the month of June to commemorate the Guyana Sport Shooting Federation’s
anniversary.
After every match the winner’s name together with the year will be
inscribed on a plaque attached to the Cup.
In 2015 Ryan McKinnon emerged victorious and as such will have his name etched into
the trophy as winner in that year. He will no doubt be seeking back to back wins and isone to watch out for in the 2016 event.
