OECS Junior Champs 2013

 

Thu 11th Apr, Day ONE:

Match of the Day

It was Geronimo Ross (VIN) VS. Zanti Dick-Read (IVB) in the BU15 division that really got the spectators at the National Squash Center on their feet with the excitement and drama that occur during the first five setter of the tournament.

Zanti took the first game 11/9 but Ross never called it quits as he took the second game 11/6 and the third 11/4. However Dick-Read refused to simply hand over the match to Ross without a fight, the British Virgin Island player took the fourth game 11/5. But most of the drama and excitement of this match came in the fifth game with scores constantly being leveled, but it was the Dick-Read who took the lead after all this excitement and drama 10/7 match ball.

However it wasn’t over the Vincentian refuse to let any ball go to the back of the court by constantly volleying the ball down the wall to good lengths which allowed him to save three match points and tie the game 10 all, which allowed him to be victorious in the end 12/10.
