Bounty Farm handicap Squash tournament… Top Seed Nyron Jospeh wins on night two
The second day of the Bounty Farm handicap Squash tournament was in full swing with a packed schedule of evening matches at the Georgetown Club on Thursday.
In Category A the Verwey brothers both provided some thrills for the night. In the matchup between Nicholas Verwey (5) and Ethan Jonas (-2), the two boys fought down to the wire. Ethan Jonas showed real grit after conceding the first game 12-15 by winning six straight points to tie up the second game 15-13, and then clawing his way up from 6-14 in the final game to take the match.
Nicholas’s brother Joshua also had a tough match as he stepped up in a fight to the finish with Monisha Persaud; both games reaching 14 all before Joshua stitched it up 15-14, 14-14.
Nyron Joseph (-22) did not disappoint in the Open Category coming from -22 to tire out Brian Young (8). After a master display, Joseph almost let it slip allowing a 14-all in the second game before finishing off the match 15-9, 15-14.
Samuel Ince-Carvalhal put in a valiant effort in the second game against Alex cheeks who had him at 14-12 before Ince-Carvalhal dug deep to bring it to 14-all, but he couldn’t bring it home and acrobatic Cheeks won in two straight games; 15-11, 15-14.
