Young squash sensation Ethan Bulkan is on the cusp of a remarkable achievement at the Moo National Junior Squash Championships as he prepares to contest the finals of the Under-13, Under-15, and Under-17 categories.
Meanwhile, the girls’ Under-19 division is poised for a captivating finale with the title hanging in the balance.
The championships will conclude this afternoon (April 12) at the Georgetown Club Courts, promising a day of high-octane squash action.
Under-11: Today’s action will see Ingram Edwards face Rafael Brathwaite in the Boys’ final, while Azaria Proffit will battle Ella Fernandes for the girls’ title.
Under-13: The girls’ Under-13 category, contested in a round-robin format, was won by the dominant Tehani Munroe, who emerged victorious in all three of her matches.
In the boys’ division, Ethan Bulkan remains unbeaten and needs just one more victory against Maxwell Viapree to clinch the title. He demonstrated his dominance on Friday with a resounding 11-1, 11-3, 11-0 win over Benjamin Phang.
Under-15: The boys’ Under-15 final promises to be a highlight of the day, pitting the in-form Bulkan against a worthy opponent in Justin Ten Pow.
Bulkan reached the final after a hard-fought semi-final victory against his brother Egan (11-6, 11-1, 11-8), while Ten Pow overcame Kaiden Alli in a tight three-game encounter (11-7, 12-10, 11-4).
