James Stout won his fifth Caribbean Junior Squash title in fine style.

Stout dominated the Boys Under-19 final in Guyana from start to finish and this was reflected by the perfect scoreline of 9-0, 9-0, 9-0.

Stout's opponent Gerard Greaves had no answer for the Bermudian's superior court coverage and racquet skills and even a boisterous local crowd could not help him score a point.

Stout managed to silence the crowd at the beginning of the second game and then went on to win 16 consecutive rallies to take the trophy.

"He proved that all the training in Belgium has had a very positive affect on his game and he is way ahead of his peers in the Caribbean," said a delighted Ross Triffitt, Bermuda's director of squash, last night.

In the Girls Under-15 final a nervous Laura Robinson could not produce an upset over No.1 seed Bo Harris from Barbados. Robinson never got going in the match and had trouble producing her normal game.

Despite her lack of form she toughed it out to win the third game and battled all the way through the match before finally losing 6-9, 1-9, 9-7, 4-9. Both girls played the match with tremendous sportsmanship, calling their shots down or out when the referee was unsure, and it was a fitting end to the match when Robinson called her shot down on match point to give the title to Harris.

Robinson's older brother Andrew reversed the family's fortune when he defeated Bajan Steven Miller in the Boys Under-19 fifth-sixth place playoff. Robinson outplayed Miller except for a lapse in concentration in the second game and ran out the winner 9-5, 9-10, 9-0, 9-1.

Michael Shrubb, meanwhile, showed his great spirit in his Boys Under-17 third-fourth place playoff against No.2 seed Rhett Cumberbatch from Barbados.

Despite never taking a game off the favoured Bajan before, Shrubb found himself leading 2-1 in games and 2-1 in points. It was unfortunately at that point that the young Bermudian ran out of gas.

In the stifling temperatures exhaustion set in and Shrubb had to settle for fourth place, losing the match 4-9, 9-8, 9-6, 3-9, 0-9.

In the fifth-sixth place playoff Graham Counsell could not quite produce enough to get past Jamaica's David Patterson going down in straight games 7-9, 3-9, 7-9.

Robert Maycock continued his good form despite a loss against Kristian Jeffrey from Guyana.

Jeffrey, a year older and ranked higher, was expected to have an easy victory over Maycock, but the young Bermudian rose to the challenge and pushed Jeffrey all the way.

Eventually Jeffrey wore down Maycock and won the match 9-5, 4-9, 9-6, 9-0.

The Boys Under-13 fifth-sixth place playoff produced a victory for Bermuda's Robert Forbes when he came back from losing the first game to beat Diarra Venner from the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States.

Forbes used his superior drives to pin Venner to the back of the court and break the spirit of the young Venner with the Bermudian winning 2-9, 9-6, 9-0, 9-2.

"The team are in very high spirits as they have all played very well in the individuals," added Triffitt.

The players enjoyed a rest day yesterday before play started in the team event today.
