Guyana Boys seal 5-0 win over T&T, Barbados beat Cayman Islands 4-1
THE Guyana Boys team followed up a 4-1 triumph against Bermuda on Wednesday, by sealing a 5-0 against Trinidad and Tobago, while Barbados ended with their second 4-1, playing the Cayman Islands this time, as the team competition in the DIGICEL Junior Caribbean Squash Championships continued yesterday at the courts of the Georgetown Club, Camp Street.
Bermuda boys bounced back from their Wednesday loss, by sealing a 3-2 victory against Jamaica.
Trinidad almost picked up a match yesterday, when it seemed almost lost for Rithew Saywack, when he was down two sets against Jonathan Blanc. Despite taking the first point of the match and putting up a good fight to hold Blanc at bay, Saywack still came up short, and Trinidad had him 9-11, 5-11.
The Guyanese was not about to just throw in the towel, however, and romped his way to owning the next three sets 11-6, 11-8, 11-4.
Team captain Benjamin Mekdeci had a quick one against Nicholas Caddle, dealing the Trini another 3-0 loss (11-4, 11-3, 11-6), similar to their fight earlier this week in the Boys’ Under-19 singles.
After a harrowing battle against Bermuda’s Taylor Carrick on Wednesday night, Daniel Islam, deserved the easy 11-4, 11-2, 11-4 win that he got against Joshua Poon.
The Guyana Boys were next scheduled to take on the Jamaican Boys last night, while this afternoon they will play the Cayman Islands, and then it will be between them and the Bajans as the event concludes tomorrow.
Meanwhile, the Guyana Girls will face their Trinidad counterparts this morning, and as it comes to an end, they match skills with Barbados as well.
