Guyana to host WI Fullbore championships in October

TIMES INT'L

The Guyana National Rifle Association (GNRA) will host the West Indies Fullbore championships during the second week in October. The tournament is expected to attract shooters from Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Bermuda, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago and host Guyana.

The Guyanese shooters will hope to exploit home advantage to the fullest

The Jamaicans are the defending champions following their narrow two-point win over Guyana in the short range team match in Antigua last year. The Guyanese however, hold the long range title which they won in Barbados in 2010.
National fullbore captain Mahendra Persaud said recorded shoots will start from next week, while at the start of September training sessions will be held twice weekly.
Persaud said the lineup will include Ransford Goodluck, Lennox Braithwaite, Richard and Dylan Fields, Dane Blair, Charles Deane, Claude Duguid and Peter Persaud.
Retired ACP Paul Slowe and Ryan Sampson, two other members of the team, will miss training due to overseas engagements.
The West Indies championships will run for five days with three days set aside for individual competition while the final two days will be the team matches.
Guyana last hosted the championships in 2007 where they won the short range title, but was edged out by Trinidad and Tobago in the long range match.
