Shomari Wiltshire brought an end to the dominance of Alex Cheeks at the Guyana Squash Association (GSA) in collaboration with its number one corporate sponsor Digicel annual Farfan & Mendes Junior Squash Tournament at the Georgetown Club squash courts on Friday.
Play continued on day 3 with matches in all nine categories which are being contested. In category A Cheeks lost in four games to Wiltshire.
Wiltshire won the first game 11 – 6, but Alex won the second game in identical fashion 11 – 6. Shomari then won a close third game 11 – 9 and closed out the match with an 11 – 7 win in the fourth game.
In category B, Rebecca Low and Samuel Ince-Carvalhal had a ding dong tussle with Rebecca eventually winning the match by three games to one. Samuel won the first game 11 – 6 and at 10 – 8 game ball in the second it seemed as if a major upset was in the making. However Rebecca won the next four points to take the second game 12 – 10 and then closed out the match with wins in both the third and fourth games 11 – 6. Makeda Harding outplayed Maya Collins winning in straight games 11 – 3, 11 – 6, 11 – 7. In category C, Demetrius De Abreu had a comfortable win over Lucas Jonas 11 – 6, 11 – 5, 11 – 3, while Michael Alphonso had to work a little harder against Ethan Jonas but also won in three games, 11 – 9, 11 – 6, 11 – 7.
In category D, Madison Fernandes and Abosaide Cadogan went the full five games with Madison eventually prevailing in the fifth. Madison won the first game 11 – 9 and then won the second game 11 – 7. Abosaide then bounced back to win the third game 11 – 8 and then took the fourth 11 – 5. The fifth game went back and forth and at nine all it was anybody’s game to win but Madison won the next two points and the match by three games to two. In the other match in this category Kirsten Gomes easily outplayed her cousin Jason Gomes winning 11 – 5, 11 – 5, 11 – 5
The finals will commence on 11:00h today.
