Guyana’s under-19 boys team consisting of Jonathan Van Lange, Krystian Sahadeo, Colin Wong and Umar Percival had to settle for silver at the ongoing Junior Caribbean Table Tennis Championships at the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue.

Despite Van Lange’s spirited effort, Guyana lost the final on Wednesday afternoon to the mighty Dominican Republic 0-3.

Van Lange took the talented Ramon Villa to a five-set match, but lost in a swing 2-3.

An added silver lining is that they qualified for the Junior Pan American Games.
