BARBADOS’ junior squash players are on a high after they recorded their best performance in the individual component of the Caribbean Squash Association Junior Squash Championships.

Playing at the Barbados Squash Club on Monday night, the Bajan contingent walked away with five titles and one silver medal. This surpasses their previous best medal haul of four gold medals which they won last year.

It was an all-Bajan affair in the under-13 girls’ final and ten-year-old Sumairaa Suleman captured the title. She defeated compatriot Chelsie Samuel 12-10, 12-10, 9-11, 11-6.

Suleman is the youngest member of the team but this is the second time she is appearing at the championships. She told Midweek Sport that this year it was really fun and exciting.
