T&T Squash team, which includes coach Ryan Jagessar, left back, manager Lisa Yearwood, left centre row, and assistant coach Rhea Khan, extreme right, are swamped by the players yesterday before the CASA opening ceremony in the British Virgin Islands.

T&T's mixed dou­bles team of An­tho­ny Al­lum and Sigour­ney Williams had a win-and-loss record on Wednes­day that saw them reach the semi­fi­nals of the Caribbean Area Squash As­so­ci­a­tion Cham­pi­onships in the British Vir­gin Is­lands be­fore be­ing boot­ed out.

Williams, in her last hooray at the cham­pi­onships, com­bined with Al­lum to form an al­most un­stop­pable duo. How­ev­er, in the open­ing quar­ter­fi­nal match, the T&T pair was made to come from be­hind, as they went down to the team of Brady Holmes and Mehar Tre­han of Ja­maica in the first set 11-6.

There­after, it was all the team in red, white, and black, pro­duc­ing a bat­tling per­for­mance to lev­el the scores 11-9. Lat­er, they de­liv­ered an iden­ti­cal 11-9 tri­umph to seal the win that took them to the semi­fi­nals where they faced the pair of Do­minic Wil­son and Sar­rayah Year­wood of Bar­ba­dos.

This time though, they were swept aside in straight sets 11-2, 11-7 to make their ex­it from the tour­na­ment.

Ear­li­er in the men's dou­bles, T&T's team of Seth Thong and Nicholas Lequay failed to get out of the blocks, fac­ing the Bar­ba­dos team of Aidan Paris and Alex Stew­art in the pre­lim­i­nary round. But that was not their day on the courts and they sur­ren­dered af­ter two sets to the Ba­jans 11-2, 11-6.

Al­so, the team girls' team of Josie Thong and Maya Fran­cois strug­gled in their open­ing match to the Bermu­dan team of Tyler Kom­posch and Gabrielle Turchiaro, los­ing in their first ap­pear­ance on the court 11-5, 11-4.

Ac­tion in the tour­na­ment con­tin­ues to­day with bat­tles in the teams' cat­e­gories.
