Micah Franklin went unbeaten as Bermuda won the men’s team event at the Caribbean Championships.

Franklin won all five games he played and did not drop a set as Bermuda swept all before them in Trinidad last week.

It was a good performance all round for the island’s senior players, with Denise Kyme successfully defending her over-50s title, while Jane Chapman took the bronze medal in the over-40s category.

Franklin, Noah Brown and Kristen Johnson also competed in the singles event, and were all knocked out at the quarter-final stage, with Franklin losing to Chris Binnie, of Jamaica, who went on to win the competition.

It was in the team event that Bermuda really shone, with 3-2 wins over Barbados, OECS, and Trinidad setting up a semi-final against Guyana.

Bermuda were forced to come from 2-0 down to get through to the final, eventually squeezing to a 3-2 win, which set up another meeting with Trinidad.

By that time Johnson and Patrick Foster were both carrying injuries, and Bermuda again found themselves having to come from 2-0 down against the hosts backed by raucous home support.

Johnson lost a close game in three sets to Nku Patrick, going down 9-11, 9-11, 7-11, while Anthony Fellows was unfortunate to also lose in three sets to Chyse McQuan 11-13, 7-11, 7-11.

Franklin and Browne then made relatively short work of their opponents, while Foster needed four sets and an 1½hr to get the better of Mandela Patrick 13-11, 8-11, 11-7, 11-5.
