Haynes, Ramdhani remain senior badminton champs; Godette and Beharry excel

After four days of thrilling badminton action featuring 80 participants, 222 entries across 22 events, and 188 matches, the Guyana Badminton Association (GBA) successfully concluded its National Senior and Junior Championships on Sunday evening at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue.

In the Senior Division, defending champions Akili Haynes and Priyanna Ramdhani continued their impressive dominance, retaining their titles as Men’s and Women’s Singles Senior Champions, respectively.

In the Junior Division, young talents lit up the courts with stellar performances.

Anjaynesa Godette emerged as a triple champion, sweeping titles in both the Under-13 and Under-15 categories.

Mishka Beharry mirrored this achievement, capturing three championship titles in the Under-19 division.

Speaking after the tournament, a GBA representative stated: “We are extremely proud of all our athletes for their commitment and sportsmanship throughout the tournament. The level of play and enthusiasm displayed over the past four days show that badminton in Guyana continues to grow from strength to strength.”

The Guyana Badminton Association (GBA) extends sincere thanks to its sponsors- the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport and the National Sports Commission- for their invaluable support of this major event on the GBA’s annual calendar.

Special appreciation is also extended to all participants, including those who travelled from as far as Berbice, to the parents who provided unwavering support throughout the tournament, and to those who volunteered their time to assist with the smooth running of the event.

“Your dedication and enthusiasm greatly contributed to the tournament’s success. The GBA congratulates all winners and participants and looks forward to an even more competitive and exciting championship in the coming year,” the GBA said.
