Boccia Bermuda is sending three athletes to the BISFed Regional Open Championships to be held in Montreal from tomorrow until Sunday.

Bermuda will be represented by Omar Hayward, Steve Wilson and Yushae DeSilva-Andrade, who competed for Bermuda at the Rio Paralympics last summer.

Troy Farnsworth, the Bermuda coach, said: “This is the first competition that counts towards qualification for the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics.

“The team has been very focused in training and preparation has been excellent.

“All three players will be competing in the individual competition and I’m confident our players will give it their all and hopefully some good results will follow.”
