– Coach Idi Lewis lauds performance
Guyana’s table tennis prodigy and ‘Junior Sportswoman of the Year’, Chelsea Edghill captured two titles on Sunday when the two-day Silver Bowl Junior Table Tennis Championships ended in Trinidad and Tobago at Maloney Indoor Complex.
Edghill secured a double crown in this tournament for the second straight year. The Guyanese, who beat the top juniors and seniors for the Super Singles title when she was last here in December, retained her under-18 title with an 11-7, 11-6, 15-13 triumph over Catherine Spicer.
Edghill, the Under-15 runner-up in last year’s Caribbean Junior Championships, had earlier been pushed to a deciding fifth game to defeat Trinidad’s Ashley Quashie 9-11, 11-3, 7-11, 11-6, 11-4 in the Under-21 final.
Quashie had also been involved in a thrilling five-setter in the semis when she edged Spicer 9-11, 11-4, 7-11, 11-4, 12-10, while Edghill had gotten into the title match with an 11-9, 11-13, 11-3, 11-8 victory over Brittany Joseph.
Joseph, who at age 14 became one of Trinidad’s youngest-ever national senior champs, last year, was injured in the group stage of the Under-18 competition and was forced to withdraw. Brother of Chelsea, Kyle Edghill, finished runner-up in the U-15 competition.
Contacted yesterday, Edghill’s Coach, former national and international senior player, Idi Lewis lauded the performance of the Malteenoes Sports Club-based Edghills, stating that they have put in a lot of hard work that continues to yield the right result.
Lewis said that Edghill is a hard worker with tremendous talent and skills. According to him, she is very competitive and will continue to improve as a player with the exposure that is required at her level.
