2013 Woodpecker National Junior championships start today
The Guyana Squash Association will be serving off the Woodpecker National Junior Championships today at the Georgetown Club. This tournament will give much insight on Guyana’s junior contenders for the Caribbean Junior championships which will be held in Trinidad and Tobago in July.
The Woodpecker National Junior Championships is the GSA’s premier’s junior tournament and will take place each night starting tonight and beginning at 6pm before concluding on Sunday May 12. Most of the country’s marquis junior players are expected to compete in this tournament and for some of them it will be the final tournament of their junior careers.
Four-time Caribbean junior champion Mary Fung-A-Fat as well as former Caribbean under-19 runner up Jason Ray Khalil and 2012 under-19 Caribbean championships runner up Ashley DeGroot, will be competing in their final edition of this tournament. All three players were part of the team that helped Guyana win its eight consecutive overall team title at the Caribbean Area Squash Association’s (CASA) Junior Caribbean Squash Championships last year but are no longer eligible to compete at the under-19 level.
Other campaigners that will be competing in this week’s tournament include Steven Xavier, Nyron Joseph, the Wiltshire siblings Akeila, Larissa and Shomari Wiltshire, Rebecca Low, Sarah Lewis, Benjamin Mekdeci, Taylor Fernandes and the Islam twins Anthony and Daniel Islam.
According to the GSA, the tournament will be used as one of the primary measures to help selectors identify Guyana’s final team for CASA Junior Caribbean Squash Championships which will be held in Trinidad and Tobago July 21 – 29.
