THE Guyana Squash Association (GSA) DIGICEL/Kraft Toucan Industries Junior Skills level tournament continued last evening at the Georgetown Club Courts, with Alec Melville, Benjamin Mekdeci and Larissa Wiltshire among the night’s winners. This is the GSA’s first Junior tournament for 2016, and in Category ‘A’ Taylor Fernandes continued to show that she has improved tremendously as she dominated Alec Melville to take the first game 11/3 but could not keep up with the sustained attack and lost the next three games 9-11, 9-11, 6-11.
Top-seeded Benjamin Mekdeci easily disposed of Shomari Wiltshire in straight games 11-3, 11-3, 13-11 while Larissa Wiltshire dropped the second game against Alex Cheeks before winning 11-2, 9-11, 11-6, 1-/6..

In Category ‘C’ which is expected to be highly competitive, Michael Alphonso triumphed over Dominic Collins in four games winning 3-11, 12-10, 11-2, 13-11. In the match of the night Ethan Jonas finally overcame the spirited challenge of Demetrius De Abreu in five hard-fought games.
Demetrius won the first game 12-10 but Ethan bounced back to win the next two games 11-5, 11-9 and at 10-9 match ball in the fourth, it seemed all over for Demetrius but he won the next three points to take the match into a fifth and final game.
At 10-7 match ball for Demetrius it seemed as if he had secured a remarkable come-from-behind victory but then Ethan reeled off five points in a row, thereby winning the game and match 12-10.
