TROPHY STALL Junior Skill Level 2025 tournament…

ACTION in the Trophy Stall Junior Skill Level Squash tournament continued on Thursday night at the National Racquet Centre on Woolford Avenue, with competitive action.

Among the better matches of the night was the clash between Tiana Gomes and Kristian Viapree.

Viapree displayed excellent squash and won most of the rallies in a close game to win 12-10.

But Gomes would win the next three games in a row to take the match 3-1.

This tournament included 17 students from Queen’s College, and plans are in place to add another 26 students from Mae’s Academy in an aim to widen the pool of squash players in Guyana.

The squash parents did the coaching, including Caribbean Squash Queen and World Masters Women’s Champion, Nicolette Fernandes.

The 42-year-old has been present every night so far, teaching the basics to beginners.

She disclosed that this was not an age tournament but a skills level competition, which she hopes could be a ‘feeder’ for the national junior teams.

“This is a great initiative to open the tournament to schools. We are already seeing the diversity this brings. I am very impressed with the improvement shown from Tuesday to now from many of the beginners,” posited Fernandes.

The tournament was set to shift to the Georgetown Club on Camp Street from last evening, where matches will also be played today and tomorrow.
