– Woodpecker Products National Junior Squash Championship, 2008
By Calvin Roberts
Seventeen-year-old Raphael de Groot continued his dream run whilst Kristian Jeffrey steamrolled his opponents when action in the 2008 Woodpecker Products-sponsored National Junior Squash Championships continued at the Georgetown Club courts Thursday evening.
After his stunning defeat of two-time Caribbean under- 15 champion Alexander Arjoon the previous night, de Groot faced last year’s national under-17 champion, Oliver Downes, who took the initiative in the early exchanges with the pace and accuracy of his shots putting de Groot on the defensive for most of the first game.
