Andrew Arjoon, with a positive 10 handicap, continued where he had left off on the opening night with a hard fought win over national junior player Oliver Downes in the 2010 Bounty Farm-sponsored Handicap Squash Tournament which  continued on Wednesday evening at the Georgetown Club courts.

Playing consistent, solid squash, Downes made it through his -20 handicap with relative ease in the first set by covering everything Arjoon threw at him. After losing the first set 13/15, Arjoon looked ‘down and out’ in the second when Downes reeled off 24 points as opposed to Arjoon’s one.

Sensing the end was near, Downes stepped off the gas and instantly Arjoon lifted his game and took control before the momentum shifted right back to Downes, who refocused and got to within three points of ending the match but it was Arjoon who came away with the second 15/12.

In the third Arjoon came out aggressively and never let the tiring Downes into the game, closing it out at 15/-14.

In the Open Category Jason Ray Khalil, despite starting with a -15 handicap, defeated Ashley Khalil (+4) in straight sets of 15/10, 15/13. Kayla Jeffrey starting at +4 tasted defeat from Allan Downes (+6) 12/15, 8/15 while Nyron Joseph (+8), after winning a tough match the night before, lost to Michael Atherly (+10) 15/10, 17/15.

Former Caribbean squash champion Alexander Arjoon (-25) tasted defeat on two successive nights when he went down to Joe Mekdeci (+6) 15/-9, 11/15, 15/-6. Andrew Arjoon (+10) staved off a battling Oliver Downes (-20) for three sets before the game ended 13/15, 15/12, 15/-14; Joven Benn (+10) and Lee Fung-A-Fat (+10) in an even match-up ended in straight sets victory for Benn 15/9, 15/9.
