A day after being crowned the National Sports Commission’s junior Sportsman-of-the-Year, squash ace Shomari Wiltshire showed why he is deserving of the title by retaining the national boys Under-17 and U19 titles when the 2019 Woodpecker Products Junior National Squash tournament concluded Saturday evening at the Georgetown Club Squash Court.
Wiltshire received a walkover in his final match against Samuel Ince-Carvalhal. He was unbeaten in the earlier rounds.
Abosaide Cadogan also retained both titles in the girls’ Under-17 and U19 categories after she defeated Kirsten Gomes in the final. Cadogan took the match 11-5, 11-9, 11-3.
The most entertaining match of the evening saw Michael Alphonso working over Nicholas Verwey to capture the boys’ Under-15 title. Alphonso accounted for the emerging Verwey 11-7, 11-3, 11-3.
Meanwhile, the final results on the day propelled Gomes to the girls’ Under-15 title while Mohryan Baksh, who dominated his field, took the boys Under-13 crown and Beau Fernandes, the girls’ equivalent.
Taking the Under-11 titles were Grant Fernandes and Christina Fernandes. Wiltshire and Cadogan were adjudged the most outstanding players while Louis DaSilva and Tianna Gomes walked away with the most improved players awards.
