Anna Regina Secondary School won the CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited Guyana Table Tennis Association Ministry of Education National Schools’ Table Tennis Championships for Region Two.
The competition, recently held at the Queenstown Community Centre, saw schools from across the region participate in this inaugural event.
Following the successful Region Seven championships, the Region Two edition featured teams from 8th of May Secondary, Anna Regina Secondary, Abrams Zuil Secondary, Johanna Cecilia Secondary, and Queenstown Secondary.
The championships included competitions for Boys’ Under-15 Singles, Girls’ Under-18 Singles, and Team Championships for Under-18s.
The event proved popular, with many students registering to represent their schools.
The high level of competition and camaraderie demonstrated the growing appetite for table tennis in the region and has paved the way for future coaching and development programmes for both students and teachers/coaches.
This nationwide championship is a collaborative effort between CNOOC Petroleum Guyana Limited, the Guyana Table Tennis Association (GTTA), and the Ministry of Education. The initiative aims to:
- Provide a platform for emerging table tennis talent.
- Re-establish the Schools’ Championships as a key part of the GTTA’s development strategy.
- Develop a structured framework for school competitions, including leagues, regional events, training camps, and links to clubs and regional hubs.
- Create a talent identification and development system to enhance the sport’s profile, performance, and sustainability at both national and international levels
