Both girls had navigated their way through the draw without dropping a game.

According to coach Adam Murrils, it was an incredible debut performance representing the VI from Delilah. “She’s only 8 years old and will have two more years to try and go one better and get her hands on the trophy! I certainly wouldn’t back against her!” Murrills exclaimed.

Ethan Mohamed also had an opportunity to play for the gold medal but was overcome by the skillful Ben Shephard of Barbados.

Shepherd won 11-1, 11-5, 11-3.

Murrills reported that Ethan managed in patches to play some high quality squash, but he couldn’t quite match Ben’s consistency.
