GSA/Digicel Farfan and Mendes Junior Christmas team tournament…
Islam Brothers successful on opening night
Team Minions and team Rising Stars were successful on the second evening of the Farfan and Mendes Christmas team squash tournament at the Georgetown Club. Team Minions swept seven games en route to a demolition of their opponents team Bungatuffies, while team Rising Stars were equally dominant with seven wins over team “D”.
Daniel Islam
Gianni Carpenter was the sole victor for team “D” when he beat Dominic Collins of Rising Stars in straight games.
Despite that loss Rebecca Low fought to a 3-2 win over Jael Gaskin to spare team Rising Stars any further blushes on the evening.
Georgiana Fernandes ensured team Bungatuffies had at least one victory as she beat Haley Carpenter (team Minions) 2-1, while Makeda Harding recovered well from a first game loss to Maya Collins to win 3-1, capping off a dominant night for team Minions, who have now beaten both their opponents.
Meanwhile, the tournament rolled off with a number of exciting matches. In perhaps the best game of the night, Daniel Islam (Team Minions) defeated Alex Cheeks (Team Tornados) for the first time in his career by a 3-2 margin in a hard fought game. Cheeks quickly found himself behind the eight ball as Islam stole the early momentum in the match, taking a 2-0 lead, before the former won the third game 9/11, and held on for the fourth to force a fifth game. Islam regained his early composure and completed the win 11/7.
Anthony Islam (Team Rising Stars) also held on for an intense victory to cap off a good night for the twins. He defeated Matthew Phang (Team Bungatuffies) in another intense five game match, which ended when he cinched the final game 11/9. Anthony was off to a brisk start, winning the first game 11/7, before falling behind 2-1 as Phang won the following games by 15/13, 11/9 margins. Islam however returned to win straight games to seal an impressive victory.
For team Bungatuffies James Mekdeci beat Mohryan Baksh 3-2 (11/9, 11/8, 3/11, 9/11, 11/4) in another game which went down to the wire, while Christiana Fernandes won the lone game for team Tornadoes when she beat Noah Rahaman 3-0 (6/11, 11/7, 11/8).
Overall there were seven wins for team Minions, five for team Rising Stars, four for team Bungatuffies and one for team Tornadoes. The tournament is expected to conclude on Sunday.
