Coach Idi Lewis lauded the Guyanese women’s performance, but added that with more support in Guyana, the results could be better.
“I thought the girls played amazing. There was nobody looking like us in the quarter-finals. We were seeded fourth in the group; we were supposed to finish last in the group. So to come with such a low seeding and to finish second in the group,” Lewis said.
He further noted, “coming from under the current financial structure that we’re under, the financial constraints as far as budget goes, preparation for these games, I think these girls have delivered way beyond what we’re experiencing and going through in Guyana.”
The focus now shifts to the singles competition, as coach Lewis once again doubles-down on the fact that despite the lack of resources, the females are still delivering.
On the sidelines, following his defeat to Singapore, Lewis said if the team can be properly prepared, they will be able to give themselves a chance at major tournaments like the Commonwealth Games.
