In yesterday’s doubles the Guyanese pair of Wilshire and Ince-Carvalhal lost their first game 4-11 and but demonstrated a bit more fight in their second game which they lost 9-11 before the World Ranked Argentinean pair of 22-year-old Jeremias Gonzalo and Azano Cornejo powered home as the Guyanese lost 2-0.
According to Coach Garfield Wilshire the boys played well but were up against more experienced players.
“Their performance was pleasing and there was no issue with the high altitude. The boys said that it did not affect them in any way.
The boys played their best but were beaten by better players. No shame at all in their performances,” informed Coach Wilshire, a top former Caribbean Squash player.
