MENS SEMIS
T & T def Jamaica 3-2
3 Paul Deverteuil bt Joey Levy 11-5, 11-8, 11-5
4 Ryan Abraham bt Warren Burrowes 11-3, 3-11, 11-2, 11-8
1 Colin Ramasra lost Chris Binnie 3-11, 7-11, 2-11
5 Kale Wilson lost to Bruce Burrowes 6-11, 8-11, 14-12, 11-4, 8-11
2 Don Lee bt Bruce Levy 11-1, 11-3, 11-4 
| After DeVerteuil and Abraham put the team up 2-0, Ramasra lost in 3 to Binnie for the second time. Then a determined Burrowes earned himself a 2-0 lead by scrambling for every ball and waiting for Wilson to make a frustrated error. Wilson fought back in the 3rd from 6-2 down to take the 3rd game 14-12 after his 5th game ball. He crushed a seemingly tired Burrowes in the 4th game and took a 7-4 lead in the 5th before conceding 3 consecutive strokes to level the game at 7-7. Burrowes took command from that point and eventually claimed the match in 5.
It was up to the experienced Don Lee to win the decider and he did so in fine fashion.
The 2 matches that were lost were expected to be the tough matches, but we were pretty confident in claiming wins at #2, 3, and

WOMENS SEMIS
T & T def Guyana 3-2
3 Joanna Scoon def Kayla Jeffrey 13-11, 11-3, 11-4
4 Amy Gillezeau def Victoria Arjoon 11-5, 11-5, 11-8
1 Kerrie Sample lost Nicolette Fernandes 7-11, 3-11, 5-11
5 Nakita Poon Kong w/o
2 Rhea Khan lost Keisha Jeffrey 11-8, 8-11, 11-5, 5-11, 9-11
Guyana had started off at a disadvantage with only 4 players available, so once Scoon and Gillezeau had won the first two ties, T & T had already won the match. Guyana were able to pull back the final two dead matches to save some face. But it was of no consequence.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN CASA HISTORY THAT THE WOMEN'S TEAM HAVE BEEN IN THE FINAL.
So, both Men's and Women's team are vying for the Gold.
MENS FINAL - 5:00pm (Cayman time)
T & T vs BARBADOS
WOMENS FINAL - 7:30pm (Cayman time)
T & T vs CAYMAN
VETS - 3:00pm (Cayman time)
T & T vs JAMAICA (for 3rd place)
