The team round of the Caribbean Junior Squash Championships in Cayman Islands saw Guyanese girls wrap up Pool A with a 5 - 0 win over the Bahamas to become the first team to reach the semi-finals. They were joined in the semis by Bermuda, who ended hosts Cayman's hopes with a 4-1 win.
In the Boys' event, the Defending champions Guyana were taken to a decider by Bermuda after Micah Richards and Noah Browne took two ties for Bermuda, while Deje Dias and Jean-Claude Jeffrey replied for Guyana, leaving it once again down to the Under 13s.
Guyana's Ben Mek always held the upper hand against a gallant Dylan Pratt, but that didn't stop every rally being greeted with whoops and hollers from the massed crowd - and it wasn't just Guyana and Bermuda, the match drew inquisitive spectators from all around the club. Mek won in straight sets to earn the defending champions the win.

Browne Under 17 Champion
Members of the Bermuda National Junior Squash Team continued to compete in the Caribbean Junior Squash Championships in Cayman Islands.
Noah Browne was crowned the Boys Under 17 Champion. This Final was a real nailbiter, with significant involvement from the referees. Brown had the height advantage, but struggled to make it tell against a resilient Jason Ray Khalil. The Guyanese led in every game, but couldn't close them out, letting slip an 8 - 3 lead in the second turned out to be crucial.
Micah Franklin went down to the number one seed Cameron Stafford in Boys Under 19 Final. Stafford was Cayman's last, and best, hope of a title, and he duly delivered with a solid performance over the talented and spirited Franklin. Franklin won the first and was on Stafford's tail for the next three games, but this win was written in the stars, and Stafford duly delivered.
D’Vario Thompson and Emma Keane finished in third place in the Boy’s and Girl’s under 15 Division.

Day 2 - Caribbean Championships

Members of the Bermuda National Junior Squash Team continued to compete in the Caribbean Junior Squash Championships in Cayman Islands.
Four players played in the Semi-Finals, Bermuda's top seed and Boy’s Under 17 Number 1 ranked Noah Browne overpowered Mandela Patrick from Guyana. Patrick ran for all he was worth - he had to - but as the match wore on the constant pressure of Noah Browne’s shots, and not a little skill and deception too, took its toll going down 12-10, 11-5, 11-3.
Then it was Nku Patrick's turn. After toppling the top seed in the morning he now faced Bermuda’s D'Vario Thompson in the Boy’s Under 15 Semi-Final. Patrick was at a physical disadvantage, but not as great as the one his brother had faced. Nevertheless Thompson took early control and the lead, but as the match wore on Patrick got to grips with his opponent's game and was able to run down pretty much everything Thompson could throw at him. Thompson persisted in trying to outpower his opponent, but it wasn't working any more, and Patrick grew more and more assured as he progressed to the final in four games 5-11, 11-4, 11-8, 11-4.
Emma Keane faced off against the Girls Under 15 number 1 seed Victoria Arjoon from Guyana, Keane went down in straight sets 11-2, 11-7, 11-7 and in the Boy’s Under 19 Semi-Final Micah Franklin the divisions second seed will meet the Divisions number one seed Cameron Stafford from Cayman after he defeated Kale Wilson from Trinidad in straight sets 11-7, 11-7, 11-8.
