T&T men's beach volleyball duo of Stephen Enile and Josiah Butcher will be one of 15 teams competing in the sixth stop of the NORCECA Beach Volleyball Tour at the renowned Playa Azul, located next to Plaza Punto Bahía in Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico, from Friday (August 29) until Sunday (August 31).
The event will feature the best beach volleyball pairs from North America, Central America, and the Caribbean, offering fans a vibrant seaside atmosphere combined with high-level competition.
This is Enile’s third tournament on the NORCECA Tour this season, while it will mark the first for Butcher, who replaces Enile’s previous playing partner, Joel Theodore.
Earlier this season, Enile and Theodore competed in the opening stop of the tour in Varadero, Cuba, and placed 15th. That was followed by a 12th-placed finish on the second stop in Juan Dolio, Dominican Republic, and an 18th-placed finish on the third leg in Puerto Cortés, Honduras.
T&T had no representation at the two events in July, which was the fourth stop in Modero, Tamaulipas, Mexico, as well as the fifth leg in Paramaribo, Suriname, but will now make a return to the tour where they will face competition from USA, Canada, Guatemala, Venezuela, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, El Salvador, and host Mexico.
And among the women, T&T's Apphia Glasgow and La Teisha Joseph were 12th in the first leg before Paige Alexander and Meeka Johnson finished 16th, respectively, at Juan Dolio Beach in the Dominican Republic.
