Mason Smith, Andrew Cox and McKenna Kyme won two titles each at the Junior Squash Championships held at the Bermuda Squash Club.

Smith, 10, played George Qureshi 3-0 in two finals, the under-11 and under-13, which he both won 3-0.

Cox picked up the top prize in the boys under-17 as well as the under-19, his two wins coming against Eli Carpol.

Owen Rosorea took the honours in the boys under-15, and also finished third in the under-17 where he defeated his older brother Ethan to the bronze.

Sophie Farrer was the girls under-11 champion, while Kyme won the under-13 and under-15.

Rose Paulos was the winner of the girls under-17, where only four players competed, which saw the quartet involved in a round robin to decide the champion.

Izzy White defeated Gabrielle Turchiaro 3-0 in the girls under-19 final.

Micah Franklin, the head of squash at the Bermuda Squash Association, said the tournament was held to decide most of the slots for next year’s Junior Caribbean Squash Championships.

“Each division will receive an invitation to represent Bermuda at the Caribbean Junior Championships,’’ Franklin said.

“The runners-up will then be placed in a draw in the spring to get another spot to the Caribbean Championships.

“I can only send two players per age group, that is ten girls and ten boys in total. We had 44 players in this tournament, some players played in two age groups because they’re so good.

“What that says to me is that we have a very good next generation of players in those younger age groups.

“Boys under-17 is a very competitive age group, we had 12 players in that division, and all 12 of them would love to go to the Caribbean Championships but I can only send two.

“It’s good that I get to choose from that many amazing players, but it’s also difficult that I have to make the call.”

Franklin was excited by the standard of play displayed by the island’s junior players during the tournament.

“I'm pretty pleased as a coach,’’ he said. “I'm happy to see some of the development from the youth that is coming.

“We had two siblings play each other, Owen and Ethan Rosorea in the third-place play-off for the boys under-17. Owen is younger and ended up winning, so it must be a tough one for the family.

“We also had a slight upset in the girls under-11, Sophie Farrer was the No 2 seed, and Taylor Kyme was the No 1 seed. Sophie won in the final as the No 2 seed.

“In terms of the competition, I think that in some age groups I've got a high amount of players. It’s a tough one to call who’s going to be the best on the day.

“With some players who've won two age groups, that does give me flexibility to to send an alternative in the other age group.

“In the next six months, I'm expecting more and more from the players to keep pushing and improve.

“We’re going to be working with the youngsters to help develop them their game.”
