THE Wiltshire sisters, Akeila and Larissa, were in sensational form over the weekend in Jamaica, as the pair, who are no strangers to the sporting industry, ruled the BCIC All Jamaica Senior Squash Championships, at Liguanea Club in Kingston.
According to a Newsroom report, Larissa made it to the semi-finals of the competition after a walkover in the quarter-finals, and would later defeat Mia Mahfood 11-5, 11-5, 13-11, to advance to the final.

In the final, Larissa clashed with her older sister, who had defeated Mia Todd 11-3, 11-3, 11-6 in the quarter-finals and Mia Lake 13-11, 11-4, 11-4 in the semi-finals.
The report stated that the two, who are medical students at the University of the West Indies (UWI), had an intense battle, but when the dust settled, Akeila walked away champion of the prestigious squash title, winning 11-3, 11-6 and 11-8.

After the competition, an elated Akeila shared with Newsroom that she was prepared for the tournament, like any other, and while admitting that she didn’t think about facing her sister, she saw her like any other opposition.

“I didn’t think about playing my sister, I was playing an opponent. My strategy was to place my shots in target areas, move her around the court and force her to make the errors, which I thought I executed well,” the senior champion said.
Overall, more than 60 players contested the various categories of the championships which included Men’s A, B, C and Veterans, as well as Ladies’ A and B.
