The GBA’s National Junior Tournament sponsored by the NSC, continued last night at the National Gymnasium with matches being competed in the quarterfinals and some semi-finals.
The penultimate night saw some riveting on-court action as Jonathan Robinson beat Gabriel Felix 21-17, 19-21, 21-17 to qualify for last night’s Boys Under-19 Final.
The pair used excellent lobs and drop shots and demonstrated good use of the court as they engaged each other with Robinson taking the first set 21-17 before Felix stepped up the intensity to level the scores 2 all with a 21-19 win in the second set.
However, Robinson, the son of former National Badminton player Grandison Robinson, would win the third set 21-17 to take the keenly contested semi-final.
In another entertaining match-up, Joanathan Debidin easily disposed of Nikolas Pollard 21-11, 21-6 to qualify for last night’s final.
On a night which attracted a good-sized gathering, the Bulkan siblings (Ethan and Egan), who depart this morning for the BVI as part of the National Squash team to compete in junior CASA, have also qualified for last night’s finals. (Sean Devers)
