Edghill for high level training stint in Portugal

Guyana’s Chelsea Edghill is off to Portugal for training and competition.

A new national women’s singles champion will be crowned later this month when the Guyana Table Tennis Association stages its national championships after reigning champion Chelsea Edghill opted to participate in a training and internship programme in Portugal.

According to a press release from the GTTA, Edghill departed the United States of America Sunday for Portugal for the 6-7 week programme.

“As part of her quest to explore professional sojourn engagement the internship will last for 6- 7 weeks where she will play and train with high level players and coaches, work with junior players and play in competition and matches representing the club,” the GTTA release stated.    “She will take a break to represent Guyana at the 2018 South American Games in Cochabamba, Bolivia from May 28th to June 8th as a member of Guyana’s women’s team along with her team mates Natalie Cummings and Trenace Lowe.”
