(Aubrey Crawford Photo)It was a piece of cake for the Guyana girls’Under-18 female team yesterday even though the 3-2 score line does not reflect it. But Guyana’s girls’ U-18 team defeated Trinidad and Tobago yesterday afternoon to prevent the twin-island republic from nabbing three of the four titles in the team championships of the 13th annual Caribbean Junior and Cadet Table Tennis Championships which continued yesterday at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.

The Trinidadians had gotten past the Guyana boys’ U-18 team in a tough encounter 3-1 to capture the U-18 category.

Earlier, in the morning play, the Trinidadians won the boys’Under-15 title by defeating Guyana also by a 3-1 margin.

However, T&T could not manage to get past the home team when they reached their third final of the tournament in the U-18 girls’ final.

The heated rivalry between the two powerhouses of Caribbean table tennis in this year’s tournament continued.
