Will represent Guyana at Beach Olympics in Argentina

Male and female teams selected…

Volleyball season kicked off in 2019 in emphatic fashion as the Marriott Beachfront saw the Guyana Volleyball Federation (GVF) hosting a male and female competition.
The competition included over 20 teams from different corners of Guyana such as Demerara, Berbice and Essequibo. The tournament saw 13 exciting rounds of battle as three teams were deemed champions and they will now represent Guyana at the Beach Volleyball Olympic Qualifiers this March in Argentina which will be covered by the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA), as all was under the watchful eyes of GVF President Levi Nedd.
In the competition, each team consisted of two players. Juan Velazquez and Vance Harding will be making their first appearance in the Beach Volleyball Olympic Qualifiers, while Quacy Marthson and Ian Bagot claimed their spot after an injury picked up in the semi-final forced their opponents to forfeit the game.
For the females, Candace Mentore and Philana Sampson of Port Mourant Volleyball Club will be representing Guyana. They were not required to play as they won via walkover as the competition saw many players lending their time in various capacities such as umpiring and scoring as they aided in making the tournament a success.
Sponsoring the tournament for the first time is the Demerara Distillers Limited under the Diamond Mineral Water brand. Top teams and outstanding individuals will be rewarded.
