Chelsea Fong of WASA ta­ble ten­nis club, and Queen's Park Crick­et Club (QPCC) duo Chloe Fras­er and Der­ron Dou­glas served up some fan­tas­tic per­for­mances at this week­end's So­lo Ju­nior Na­tion­al Ta­ble Ten­nis Cham­pi­onships on Sun­day at the Na­tion­al Rac­quet Cen­tre in Tacarigua.

Fong caused a ma­jor up­set in the Girls Un­der-21 sin­gles fi­nal, beat­ing de­fend­ing cham­pi­on Brit­tany Joseph of QPCC, 3-2mto win one of three gold medals. She al­so claimed the Girls U-18 sin­gles ti­tle and joined forces with N'Kosi Rouse to take the U-21 mixed dou­bles crown.

The WASA play­er had the ide­al start in the sin­gles ti­tle-match against Joseph, com­fort­ably win­ning the first two sets, 11-6, 11-8. Un­for­tu­nate­ly she dropped the sec­ond sets by the same mar­gin, 8-11, 8-11, set­ting up an in­tense fi­nal set. How­ev­er, it was the triple gold-medal win­ner dom­i­nat­ing the de­cid­ing set, 11-8.

Fong re­peat­ed as the U-18 sin­gles cham­pi­on. That fi­nal was just as rugged as the se­nior cat­e­go­ry, fac­ing off against Shreya Ma­haraj of Care­nage Blasters and came away with an­oth­er hard fought, 3-2 (8-11, 11-7, 11-9, 7-11, 11-8) vic­to­ry.

Sim­i­lar­ly, the ef­fort in the mixed dou­ble fi­nal was al­so ev­i­dent as Fong and Rouse com­bined well to over­pow­er Blasters' pair of Ma­haraj and Luc O'Young to get an­oth­er 3-2 win, 12-10, 8-11, 9-11, 11-9, 12-10.

Shar­ing in the spot­light was Parkite Fras­er, who won gold in four cat­e­gories, the U-11 and U-13 sin­gles ti­tles and al­so in the U-21 and mixed U-15 dou­bles crowns link­ing with Joseph and Imani Ed­wards-Tay­lor, re­spec­tive­ly.

Fras­er topped Ash­lea Mo­hammed (ATTC), 3-0 (11-8, 11-4, 11-1) in the U-13 fi­nal, downed Layl­lana Bood­han of War­renville Unit­ed, 3-0 (11-7, 11-5, 11-5) in the U-11 fi­nale and with Ed­wards-Tay­lor de­feat­ed Re­bekah Ster­ling/Jew­el Nad­han (Blasters), 3-0 (11-7, 11-8, 11-6) in the mixed dou­bles de­cider.

In the U-21 com­pe­ti­tion, three pairs of teams bat­tled for su­prema­cy and it was Fras­er and Joseph emerg­ing un­beat­en to take the top prize.

Dou­glas won both the U-21 and U-18 ti­tles by a 3-1 won mar­gin af­ter with­stand­ing same op­po­nent Jesse Dook­ie of Blasters in each fi­nal. He part­nered with Joshua Maxwell and they best­ed Rouse and Mikhail Dook­ie, 3-0 (11-8, 11-3, 14-12.
