Defending champion Michael Alphonso will battle Nicholas Verwey in the category ‘A’ final of this year’s Guyana Squash Association (GSA) Annual Bounty Farm Handicap Tournament after both young men completed semi-final wins last evening at the Georgetown Club Squash Court.  

Verwey, in his semifinal encounter, hustled his way past Abosaide Cadogan 2-1 in a combative exchange. Verwey (-4) looked in total control in the first set to claim it 15-11 before Cadogan sprung her way back into contention by clinching the second set by a similar score line.
