The Gokarn Ramdhani Memorial Tournament wrapped up on Saturday at the National Gymnasium and saw Priyanna Ramdhani and Akili Haynes prevailing in the finals of the Women and Men’s U-23 categories respectively.

Haynes’ performances throughout the tournament were consistent and impressive enough to land him the Most Outstanding Performance award. 

Priyanna, whose father the tournament memorializes,  faced Mishka Beharry in her final and found little to no opposition as she wrapped up the title in sets of 21-5 and 21-6. Meanwhile, Haynes came up against Tyrese Jeffrey in his final which was much more competitive than the Women’s title match.
