Watched by a fair size mid-week gathering, the Toucan Distributors Junior Skill Level tournament organised by the Guyana Squash Association (GSA), served off last evening with competitive action on the opening Night at the Georgetown Club Squash Courts.
Caribbean U-15 Champion and number-one seed Shomari Wilshire put in a dominating performance on a night when games where contested in every category. Abosaide Cadogan defeated Mohryan Baksh while Lucas Jonas got the better of Kirsten Gomes before the Persaud siblings; Zachary and Lucas, were all in winner’s row in some of the better games of the night.

Abosaide Cadogan defeated Mohryan Baksh last night at the Georgetown Club.

In the only category ‘A’ match of the Night, the talented 15 year-old Wiltshire was in riveting form against Michael Alphonso with level headed and skilful Squash.
Wiltshire, in his first match of the year, patiently rallied out an enthusiastic Alphonso to register an emphatic 3-0 victory. Although Alphonso’s retrieval skills were outstanding, Wiltshire’s accuracy, timing and pace dominated the match in an 11/2, 11/4, 11/0 win.
In the Category ‘B’ matches, the fast improving Mohryan Baksh and the talented Abosaide Cadogan faced-off in a competitive affair. After an 11/6 defeat in the first game, Baksh made an early bid in the second, pulling ahead before Cadogan closed the gap and in a point for point battle of exciting cross courts, drives and drops, as Baksh succumbed 12/14. Cadogan fought her way through the third to a 3/0 triumph.
Lucas Jonas gave an impressive performance against Kirsten Gomes in a 5 games match where he dominated the ‘T’ and played some magnificent cross courts. Gomes was outplayed in the final game after levelling up 2/2 earlier in the match and Jonas took the win 11/6, 6/11, 11/9, 9/11, 11/8.
Zachary and Lucas Persaud secured victories in categories C and E respectively, while in category F, Safirah Sum
