Spencer Moss laces up for Bermuda for the first time since the glory days of his junior career (1988- Guyana). Moss didn’t miss a beat having a solid day going 2-1.

Moss continues his play Tuesday 9:00am.
Anthony Fellowes also went 2-1 in his debut for Bermuda. Fellowes lost out to Dean Watson of Cayman Islands in the main draw. Dean played some deft touch combined with some impressive length. Anthony continues his play Tuesday 9:00am.
Chris Stout goes 2-1 with wins over Warren Urguart of Cayman and Kevin Bailey of OECS. Stout played with the same determined style that he’s become known for at the Island Games and JR. CASA earlier this summer. Despite his 3-0 lost two second seed Chris Binnie, Stout played some aggressive length and made some exciting attacking shots during this match…much to the delight of the crowd. Binnie of Jamaica won the clinching match for Trinity College over Yale University earlier this March for the 2011 NCAA Teams Championships. Stout continues play Tuesday 9:00am.
Noah Browne started the day off with a five game thriller with Caribbean Legend Wayne Burrowes. Wayne Burrowes still a fiery and determined competitor fell short to a composed Noah Browne. Next Browne met the third seed and hometown favourite Cameron Stafford. Stafford’s training for the PSA tour has been paying off as he took down Browne 3-0. Browne continues play Tuesday at 6:00PM.
Micah Franklin looked comfortable in his 3-0 victory over Marvin Blair of Cayman Islands. Franklin then met up with 7th seed Joe Chapman of OECS. Frist two games saw Champan edging Franklin with consisent length and the occasional well-timed attacking drop from deep left court. Franklin came out firing in the third game picking up the tempo of the match with forcing length from the back and some solid play in the front court. Franklin’s comeback was a little to late as Chapman edged him in forth. Franklin continues his play on Tuesday at 6:00pm.

After a gruelling struggle, the Bermuda girls team suffered a heart-breaking 2-3 loss against Cayman. Susanna Armano battled for a victory against an opponent whose power and length were just too much and lost 3-1, managing to steal a game. Alyssa Brewer also put up an amazing fight against an opponent who had taken her on in the first round of the tournament. Making use of tight rails, she applied everything she knew to outsmart Cayman. But the experience of her competition eventually won in a 3-0 result.
The Bermy girls now take on the OECS team with hopes to meet Barbados in the 5th place play-off.

Bermuda boys played in the semi-finals against Trinidad & Tobago Wednesday at 5:00pm. Bermuda went up two matches and up 2 games to 1 in the third match but T&T fought back winning the 4th and fifth games to capture the 3rd match. T&T took the fourth match 3-0 squaring things up at 2-2. Bermuda got out to a 2-0 lead in the fifth and deciding match, but a mentally tough T&T player fought back to win the match 3-2. T&T will playoff against Guyana for the Championship tomorrow while Bermuda will face Jamaica for third place.
Bermuda Girls had a great match with OECS to see who would have a chance to playoff for fifth place. Madeleine Rose continued her solid play against Thandi Myers. Madeleine took the match but not before Thandi layed down some great forehands. Susanna Armano and Alyssa Brewer ran into strong opponents, Erica Sorrentino and Megan Piper respectively. Alex Marshall ended off the match with a win over Zoe Sorrentino. Bermuda girls finished in 7th place.

Bermuda girls lost a close one with Cayman Island. Susanna Armano pushed her Cayman opponent, Lara Conolly, to a fourth game which was very close. Lara hit some fantastic volley drops controlling the first two games. Susanna stormed back in the third game extending the rallies and slotting in some tight drops to the front court. The fourth game was tight but Lara pulled through. Alyssa Brewer fought hard against a talented Eilidh Bridgeman. Eilidh was too strong on the left side and pulled off a 3-0 victory.

Team Bermuda Riding High after day 1 of Teams Event

Bermuda opened the Teams Event facing off against Guyana, the number one seeded team who are heavily favoured to win the Teams Championship. The match was played on the newly constructed courts at the National Racquets Center (the first and only public courts in the Caribbean).
The Bermuda Boys team could best be described as relaxed but poised. Each member of the team played brilliantly and almost pulled off the impossible coming within two points in one game from pulling off the upset of the tournament. With the match tied at 2 a piece Dylan Pratt and Guyana’s Ben Mekdeci took to the court. The rallies and shot making were to the crowd’s delight. What was most pleasing was the sportsmanship both players exemplified with each player calling their own double bounces and commenting on each other’s great shots. You couldn’t ask for a better way to end a close match. Once the dust settled Guyana won 3 matches vs. 2 matches.
Madeleine Rose had the lone win in the Bermuda Girls 4-1 lost to Guyana. Rose had a strong showing against Guyana’s U13, Lydia Alphonso. Guyana took control of the remaining matches. Bermuda looks to recover for their match against Cayman Island.
