Trenace Lowe managed to use her recent loss to Michelle John at the Caribbean Junior, Cadet Table Tennis Championships two weeks ago as motivation towards grabbing two titles at the Super Silver Bowl Table Tennis Tournament in Trinidad and Tobago last weekend.
In this her second year of participation in the tournament, Lowe won the girls’ U-18 title and the open women’s title, which was won for the past seven years by Trinidadian women’s champion Aleena Edwards who is currently injured.
Lowe told Stabroek Sport that she had been hungry for revenge after being edged out of the under-18 women’s title at the recently-concluded Caribbean Junior, Cadet Table Tennis Championships in which she lost 4-3 to John.
“At the Caribbean championships, I was sort of disappointed that I lost but it was a very tight match and could have gone either way,” she said.
“I know that in the past when Michelle and I clash, we always have these very exciting matches, and neither of us dominate for a while; for instance if we play ten matches, she wins five and I win the other five, and that is how it has been for the longest while,” Lowe added.
