Team Guyana has retained the Caribbean Schoolboys and Juniors Tournament trophy.

Thanks to a table leading eight gold medals and best boxer performances by Patrick Harvey (male junior) and Alisha Jackman (female school girl), Team Guyana was able to maintain a firm grip on the Winfield Brathwaite Caribbean Schoolboys and Juniors Boxing Tournament trophy when the curtain came down on the event on Sunday night at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall.

Team Trinidad finished with two gold medals from the gloves of Al Jaleel Jokhu (best boxer school boys) and Nyrell Hussein (57kg junior). St. Lucia snared a gold thanks to Gilchrist Medard who defeated Wayne Castello of Guyana on Sunday night in their 52kg (junior) bout during the fourth edition of the three-night international fixture. Team Dominica, Barbados, Grenada and the Cayman Islands failed to capture any top podium spots.
