CHELSEA Edghill was nothing short of phenomenal as she not only successfully defended her 13 years-and-under title but she also laid a dominant claim on the 15 years-and-under title and the vacant 18 years-and-under title. She did not relinquish a single set to Jamaali Holder in the finals of the 13 years and under category and in so doing clinched the match in three sets with final scores being 11-7, 11-5 and 11-7.
Akeicia Nedd was the next to fall victim to the Caribbean champion in the 13 years and under category as she stood in the precarious position between Edghill and the 15 years and under title. Edghill also made quick work of Nedd as she managed to pull off another three-set victory to nullify her challenger’s efforts. At the end of that encounter the scorecard read 11-8, 11-8, 11-7.
She completed her hat-trick in the same fashion as she sank Adeille Rosheuvel in three sets – 12-10, 11-5, 11-6 – to claim the 18 years and under title.
