CASA Junior Squash C/Ships… Gifted Wilshire does it again! – Gold for Fernandes (GU-11) & Alphonso (BU-13), Silver for Cadogan
Caribbean U-15 champion Shomari Wilshire plays off the glass during a local event. He defended his regional title successfully yesterday in Jamaica.
The third day of action at the Caribbean Area Squash Association’s (CASA) Junior Championships at the Liguanea Club in Kingston, Jamaica saw 14-year-old Shomari Wilshire successfully defending his Boys U-15 title he won last year on home soil by defeating Bajan Darien Benn in three straight games to take match 11-3, 11-3, 11-9 in emphatic fashion.
Guyana’s Michael Alphonso beat Barbados’ Aidan Parris, 11-3, 12-10, 11-3 in the Boys U-13 Final although the Bajan threatened briefly in the second game which he lost by two points.
There was also a Gold Medal performance from Guyanese Christiana Fernandes who beat Bajan Phoebe Gittens 11-3, 12-10, 11-2 in the Girls U-11 Final in the morning session.
However, in the Girls-15 Final Bajan Sumirra Suleman beat Guyana’ Abosaide Cadogan, 11-1, 5-11, 5-11, 11-4, 11-9 after Cadogan had recovered from an 11-1 loss in the opening game to win the next two before losing the last two in a competitive five game match to settle for Silver.
Not unexpectedly, U-17 and U-19 Finals were played last night with no Guyanese participating after Most of the top seeds made it through to the finals in Monday night’s action.
In the Boys events Guyana’s Michael Alphonso and Bermuda’s Taylor Carrick beat the second seeds to reach the U-13 and U-17 finals, while in the Girls’ U-13 Trinidad’s Sigourney Williams and Jamaica’s unseeded Savannah Thompson beat the top two seeds before Thompson beat Williams 11-4, 11-7, 12-10 in yesterday’s Final.
