In an effort to stay active ahead of a busy 2020 schedule junior and senior national table tennis players will play in a two-day tournament at the Malteenoes Sports Club this weekend.
The initiative will see one junior player paired with a senior. Pairs will be divided into two groups of five and will contest on a round-robin format to advance to the knockout rounds.
It will be the best three of five matches and the top three teams will be rewarded prizes in the form of hampers and trophies. Teams will be selected by way of pulling names from a bag.
The juniors players named are: Kaysan Ninvalle, Terrence Rausch,
Johnathan Van Lange, Colin Wong, Isaiah Layne, Niran Bissu, Dhanesh Persaud, Curtis McRae, Thuria Thomas and Linden’s top junior southpaw Joshua Lucas.
The senior players identified are Shemar Britton, Joel Alleyne, Nigel Bryan, Orin Hickerson, Devon Richmond, Warren Hackshaw, Elishaba Johnson, Christopher Franklin, Johnathan Sankar and Natalie Cummings.
The entry fee is $2,000 per team. Action on Saturday is from 15:00h while on Sunday it is from 16:00h.
