Soumya , Ness Emerge supreme

Soumya Karki and Ness Billimoria, the top seeds in the girls’ under – 17 and boys’ under -19 categories recorded contrasting wins to lift the title in the Raju Chainani  Junior Squash Championship, the 99^th tournament organised by Indian  Squash professionals under the auspices of Squash Racquet Association of Maharashtra at the National Sports Club of India.

Soumya needed half the level of her game to outclass Aishwarya Nambiar 11-6, 11-3, 11-4 to bag the girls ‘title’ while Ness won his maiden title on default as his friend and opponent Ajan Jayant could’t turn up as he had to attend exams. None the less, the delight of winning the title was visible on Ness’ face.

For Soumya, it was usual business as she didn’t give a single chance to Aishwarya. Both the players won Rs 2500  and winner’s trophy for their efforts, while Aishwarya and Ajan had to settle with Rs 1500 .

Abhimanyu Shah also won the boys’ under -17 title without stepping on the court as Rohan Paranjpe, his opponent bowed out with an injury. With three main matches not providing much of entertainment, focus shifted to the boys’ under-15 final’ where Raghav Mehrotra was by far the better player against Yohan Pandole. Even before Yohan could settle down with his game plan, he was already staring at defeat, losing the first two games 11-5, 11-7.  Though he did give a tough fight , he lost 11-9 in the third game.

The boys’ under -13 final lived up to spectator’s expectation, as Yohan Surti and Aryaman Adik locked horns for the title. Aryaman gained the early advantage by winning the first game 1-8. However, in the close second and third games, he lost 11-3, 10-12 respectively. That was enough for Yohan to run through him. Yohan won the fourth and final game 11-2 for the title.
