The second day of this year’s Junior Caribbean Area Squash Association (CASA) Championships in Bermuda got going yesterday morning with the quarterfinals in each age group followed by the semifinals last evening.
In action from yesterday Khamal Cumberbatch of Bermuda defeated Guyana’s Shomari Wiltshire 11-5, 11-7, 11-8 in the Boys under-13 semi-finals, while Sarah Lewis of Guyana defeated Jamaican Mira Handa 7-11, 11-6, 11-2, 11-6 in the Girls Under-15 Plate Semifinals and Guyanese Daniel Islam defeated Bermudian Kaleo 11-5, 11-4, 11-1 for 5th place in the playoff Plate Semi-finals.
