National junior table tennis champ Thuraia Thomas has made a bold pronouncement, making it known that she is aiming to tussle with Guyana’s number-one female player Chelsea Edghill down the road.
Thomas, during a recent interview with Stabroek Sports, said Edghill, who is a former Caribbean 13 years and under and 21-years and under 13 champion, was her inspiration when she began playing table tennis nearly five years ago.
“Chelsea Edghill was the first female table tennis player I heard of when I first started playing table tennis.
She was, and still is, an inspiration but she is also now one of targets,” Thomas said.
