BASSE-TERRE, CMC – Trinidad & Tobago came from behind to win in sensational fashion while Barbados pulled off a contrasting victory, when the 7th Caribbean Junior Volleyball Championship continued here Wednesday night.

While T&T registered an exciting 23-25, 18-25, 25-18, 25-23, 17-15 victory over hosts Guadeloupe, Barbados easily got past the Bahamas 25-18, 25-23, 25-22.

The Bahamas women, however, saved some pride for their country when they posted a 25-23, 25-19, 25-20 win over Martinique.

Still reeling from their four-set loss to Martinique on Tuesday, T&T stumbled out of the blocks and quickly found themselves down 2-0 in sets and facing a heavy three-set defeat.

But they hit back well, overpowering the hosts in the next three sets to pull off an astonishing victory.

With the encounter locked at two sets apiece, the advantage in the decisive fifth set swung back and forth before T&T finally sneaked home.

Trinidad & Tobago were led by Ryan Stewart who finished with 32 points including 22 kills and eight blocks while Lucas Beaugendre finished as Guadeloupe’s highest scorer with 18 points.

There was no such drama in Barbados’ encounter, however, as they took control from early, dominating the Bahamas’ front and back court to pull off an easy first-set win.

The Bahamas rebounded in the second and third sets, temporarily taking the lead but were unable to stop Barbados’ hitters and collapsed on both occasions.

In the women’s section, the Bahamas experienced little difficulty as they handed Martinique a solid defeat.

The winners were led by Avoni Seymour who scored 12 points while Coraline Joseph-Rose finished with nine points.
