Wiltshire bags 1st win

Farfan and Mendes Junior Skills Tournament
Shomari Wiltshire showed why he is the best junior player in the Caribbean on Wednesday evening as he easily won his Group A encounter.

Wiltshire was joined by Nicholas Verwey, Michael Alphonso and Abosaide Cadogan, who also produced convincing wins on the second night of competition.
Wiltshire opened his 2018 Juniors campaign with an easy-does-it win over Gianni Carpenter in three straight sets 11-1, 11-4, 11-1 to bag what is expected to be the first of many wins.
Though Wiltshire’s match did not have too many thrills, Wednesday evening’s action was not short of such.
The pair to watch were Nicholas Verwey and Kirstin Gomes in their scintillating five-set encounter. Gomes was in command of the match, winning the first two sets 11-8, 11-7, but faltered in the third. After winning this set 11-6, Verwey saw his opportunity and took the “come from behind” victory by winning the last two sets 11-2, 11-6.
Back in group A, Michael Alphonso quickly disposed of his powerful opponent, Samuel Ince-Carvalhal 11-6, 11-6, 11-9.
In Group B, Abosaide Cadogan kept her track record clean with another straight victory, this time over Mohryan Baksh, 11-7, 11-2, 11-9.
Category D saw Lajuan Munroe celebrating after overcoming Beau Fernandes 11-7, 11-9, 11-4. It was a bittersweet night for Tristan Seereeram after he got the better of Matthew Daby 6-11, 11-7, 11-9, only to lose to Romero Muniram later on 11-2, 11-5.
Also in the winner’s row on Wednesday, Matthew Spooner suffered yet another defeat, this time at the hands of Christian Fernandes in an 11-7, 11-5 encounter.
Category H was dominated by Shriya Persaud, who got the better of Solomon Ince- Carvalhal. The young lady won the first set 11-4, but Ince- Carvalhal took the second with 7-11. Persaud came back to the third set with determination and registered an easy 11-5 win. Also in Category H, Jane Singh overpowered Eli Goveia in two straight sets 11-9, 11-5.
