Day 3 of the Woodpecker Products Junior National Squash Tournament, hosted by the Guyana Squash Association in collaboration with its corporate sponsor Digicel produced a string of exciting matches across another evening that saw mostly dominant victories for the seasoned campaigners.
Playing at the Georgetown club, Akeila Wiltshire and Nyron Joseph opened their accounts with typically dominant 3-0 sweeps of Sarah Lewis and Matthew Phang respectively. The feature game of the evening saw Ben Mekdeci and Alec Melville, both playing short of their best, produce an exciting finish, despite the 3-0 scoreline. In a match which included several unforced errors, Mekdeci was clearly disappointed not to do better than the final 12/10, 11/4, 14/12 scoreline. Samuel Ince-Carvahal and Dominic Collins battled to a 3-2 result, the former recovering from being two sets down to take the last 3 games 11/7, 11/3, 11/2.
