The penultimate squash tournament for 2018, the Lucozade/Guyana Squash Association (GSA) handicap tournament continued at the Georgetown Club courts on Friday evening with play in quarter final matches in both Category A and the Open category.
In the Open category, Nyron Joseph (-22) had a easy victory over Kevin Gouveia (11) winning in two straight sets, 15 – 13, 15 – 13.
In one of the better matches of the night Deje Dias (-8) used all of his years of experience to overcome former junior female Caribbean champion Taylor Fernandes (-4) in two competitive games 15 – 13, 15 – 13. The match was filled with long rallies and exquisite shots but the tremendous retrieving ability of Deje proved to be the deciding factor in his victory.
Regan Pollard (-12) showed that he is working his way back to full fitness as he eased past Adam Alves (4) in three games. Regan won the first game 15 – 7 but Adam showed determination to win the second game 15 – 12. The winning of the second game seemed to take all of Adam’s energy as Regan easily won the third game 15 – 7. Steven Xavier (-6)powered his way into the semi finals as he disposed of Jonathan Antczak (6) in the first game 15 – 10 and then won the sudden death point at 14 all to win the match 15 – 14.
In category A, Abosaide Cadogan (-4) fought her way back from the loss of the first game 9 – 15 to Sarah Lewis (0) to win the next two games 15 – 12, 15 – 7. Mohyryan Baksh (2) played excellent squash to overcome Gianni Carpenter (-4) by two games to one. Gianni won the first game 15 – 11 but Mohyryan held his nerve to win the second game 15 – 13 and then won a close third game 15 – 12. Kirsten Gomes (-2) made it look easy in the match against her cousin Jason Gomes (7) as she won the first game 15 – 13 and then the second game 15 – 9. In the last quarter final match between Nicholas Verwey(-1) and Shiloh Asregado (9) Nicholas breezed through the match in straight games with identical 15 – 12 scores in both games.
