Bermuda’s junior squash teams produced a stellar, unbeaten day of competition on the glass courts of the Tortola Sports Club, battling through grueling ties to keep their regional campaigns firmly on track.
Faced with a demanding double-header at the 2026 Junior Caribbean Squash Team Championships, both the boys' and girls' squads showed immense grit to ensure the island did not taste defeat once on the day.
The boys' squad fought to a thrilling, hard-earned 3-3 draw against a formidable Cayman Islands outfit, underpinned by the clinical nature of Bermuda's younger age divisions.
Sherratt on Fire: Under-13 star Benjamin Sherratt put on a clinical masterclass, conceding just six points in a ruthless 11-2, 11-3, 11-1 demolition of Ylon Omar Chambers.
Smith Dominates: Under-15 prospect Mason Smith matched his teammate's intensity, cruising past Jonty Rodgers 11-5, 11-5, 11-3.
Rosorea Seals the Point: Owen Rosorea secured Bermuda's third win of the tie with a highly disciplined 11-5, 11-4, 11-5 performance against Adriano Vera.
Despite Cayman mounting a strong comeback in the senior ranks—with under-19 standouts Michael Schrah and Eli Carpol falling in highly competitive matches—Bermuda's early brilliance guaranteed a share of the spoils.
The Bermuda girls' team enjoyed a sensational afternoon, securing a win and a draw in their back-to-back fixtures.
After securing an early default win in the Under-13 category, the Bermudians turned on the style. Under-17 player McKenna Kyme dismantled Naira-Skye John 11-1, 11-3, 11-1, before top Under-19 seed Rose Paulos delivered a flawless triple 11-0 performance against Ciara George to seal the overall victory.
The girls backed up their victory with a resilient draw against the Dominican Republic. McKenna Kyme was once again in unstoppable form, yielding just six points in her straight-games triumph.
The tie of the day belonged to Rose Paulos in the Under-19 slot. In a relentless five-game physical thriller against Bermelyn Pena, Paulos showed extraordinary stamina and mental fortitude to fight back and claim a dramatic 12-10, 7-11, 9-11, 11-6, 11-6 victory, securing the crucial draw for the island.
