THE BEST OF KAREN MEAKINS never seems to get old.

Even if she is getting on.

Add another title to Meakins’ resume after the 15-time Barbados squash queen held on to win the women’s singles title at the CASA Championships in Grand Cayman.

Playing in her ninth successive final, the seasoned 43-year-old veteran downed Bermuda-based Canadian Rune Reta 11-7, 11-8, 5-11, 11-8 in Tuesday night’s final at the South Sound Squash Club.

It was her second straight senior women’s title at that level and third overall for the multi Central American and Caribbean Games medallist.

“Nine finals in a row and three wins, not bad for a 43-year-old. As long as my body holds up I’ll keep going,” said Meakins.
