Bentick beat Rashid Constance to win the Boys Under-11, and Wilson emerged winner of the Boys Under-15 play off. Wilson was also awarded the Most Improved Player title.

Myers was first in the Girls Under-13 play off, with Miller-Alexander getting past Ollivierre to cop the Girls’ Intermediate crown.

The other title that was decided saw Lauryn Doyle winning the Girls Beginners, while Maurice Robertson got the accolade for his sportsmanship.

The Vincentian contingent, whose trip will be part sponsored by Western Union and Bickles, has as its Coach James Bentick.

Ollivierre, Miller- Alexander, Hannaway, Doyle, Snagg and Romario Constance all made the OECS team to last year’s Junior Caribbean championships which were staged in the Cayman Islands. (RT)
