National Junior Badminton Championships
The Gumdac-sponsored National Junior Badminton Championships got underway last evening at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue, with Xavio Alexander and Harshini Muralidaran among the winners following sublime performances.
The first four matches of the night were all lopsided, as the respective victors signalled their intent early on.
Defending Boys U19 Champion Alexander got his campaign off to a flawless start with a 21-4, 21-3 drubbing of Joel Prince. The latter had no answer to Alexander’s fierce forehand shots as the reigning category champion stamped his authority.
