Woodpecker Products Ltd Junior National Squash Championships 2017…

Younger players impress in latest action

The Guyana Squash Association (GSA) is holding its second junior tournament for 2017, the Woodpecker Products Ltd Junior National Squash Championships at the Georgetown Club Inc courts and play continued on day three with fixtures in nine of the ten categories that are up for grabs.
They were several noteworthy performances by all juniors but especially those in the younger age groups.

In the highlight match of the evening Shomari Wiltshire had to come from behind to defeat Alex Cheeks by a three games to one score. Shomari had two game balls in the first game but Alex won the game 13 – 11. Alex then moved to 9 – 6 in the second game and it seemed as if Shomari was in a lot of trouble but he held his nerve and won the next five points to take the second game 11 – 9. Alex now seemed to be tired and Shomari comfortably won the third game 11 – 3 and then the fourth game by an identical score 11 – 3.

In the girls Under 15 category Abosaide Cadogan had a straight set victory over Kirsten Gomes. Abosaide won the first game 11 – 4. The second game was extremely close but Abosaide won it 13 – 11 and then took the third game 11 – 8.
