Guyana’s local Table Tennis contingent to the Islamic Solidarity Games departed yesterday en route to Baku, Azerbaijan where they will compete in the fourth staging of the games.

The talented bunch assembled at the Guyana Olympic Association headquarters, around 2am yesterday morning and gave Stabroek Sports an insight of what to expect as they attempt to loop and serve Guyana to honors.

Christopher Franklin, who fought his way to a quarterfinal spot in the last staging of the games four years ago in Indonesia, said that he did not want to predict too much but added that he was feeling pretty confident about his chances.
