On a rainy Mother’s Day in the City, Shomari Wiltshire was adjudged the most outstanding Boy, while Abosaide Cadogan was the most outstanding Girl when the one-week annual Woodpecker Products Junior National Squash Championships concluded yesterday at the Georgetown Club.
Wiltshire, who turns 15 in September, beat Daniel Islam in three straight games in the Boys U-19 Final, while Cadogan defeated Kirsten Gomes 3-1 in the Girls U-15 final as they both captured three titles; U-15, U-17 and U-19
The largest turn out of the tournament, which was used to select the National Junior team for this year’s Caribbean Junior Squash Championships in Jamaica from July 8-14, witnessed and entertaining final day and Bar-B-Q was sold as a GSA fund raising venture.
The U-15 Girls final began with Cadogan showing early dominance winning the first game 11/5 before Gomes fought back in the second after losing their first four points to take a one point lead with the score on 8-7 in her favour. But Cadogan took the next three points to win the second game 11/8.
Gomes began with five consecutive points before Cadogan opened her account. The pint size Cadogan rebounded to race to a 7-2 lead at the end of a long rally as the pair traded shots.
A back wall nick pushed Cadogan to 9-2 before she eventually won the third game 11-3 then winning the fourth game 11-5 to take the match 3-1.
Wiltshire held off the fast improving Daniel Islam in three straight games earning him the well-deserved clean sweep of the three titles and enhances his growing reputation in Guyana’s squash.
In a game highlighted at times with 20 shot rallies, Anthony Islam and Samuel Ince-Carvalhal fought a hard battle in their first game which Islam won 19/17 with Islam taking the crucial point with a nick off the back wall.
The second game saw the players going at each other but Ince-Carvalhal could not keep his calm under pressure and was very emotional whenever he lost a point and lost 12/10.
Ince-Carvalhal demonstrated little fight in the third game and was dominated by Islam who took the match 11/5.
Most improved boy was taken away by Nicholas Verwey and Most Improved Girl Madison Fernandes and Trophies were handed out by the mothers of the winners in celebration of Mother’s Day.
The Guyana Squash Association expressed its gratitude to Woodpecker Products for its unwavering support to Squash over many years and its annual sponsorship of the Junior National Championships and also thanked Banks DIH for its contribution of PowerAde drinks for the event.
