The Guyana Squash Association (GSA) Toucan Distributors Junior Skill level tournament, its first Junior tournament for 2018 at the Georgetown Club Inc. courts, continued on Friday night with several breathtaking matches in four of the eight categories being contested.

Abosaide Cadogan plays a back hand shot against James Mekdeci.

In Category B Lucas Jonas provided the upset of the night when he came from two games down to defeat Kirsten Gomes by three games to two. Kirsten won the first game easily 11 – 5 and won an extremely close second game 14 – 12. Lucas rallied to take the third game also by a 14 – 12 margin and then won the fourth game 11 – 9. The fifth game was close throughout but Lucas finally secured victory with an 11 – 9 result.
