Three times a breeze for Walrond

Article by KENMORE BYNOE

COAST GUARD officer Sheldene Walrond is the new queen of Touch of Class road tennis.

The “Smiling Assassin” comfortably won her third national title with a 21-17, 21-13 dismissal of Abigail Haynes when the fourth TOC edition climaxed in front of a large crowd at the Deighton “Pa” Roach Tennis Facility in Bush Hall on Saturday night.

Some threatening drizzles merely delayed Walrond’s capture of the top prize of $2 600 and a crystal vase after she had ignited the journey by toppling the three-times queen Kim Holder and putting out the latter’s daughter Kyana Holder.

Walrond also picked up another title and cheque for $600 after she had teamed up with Rachel Smith to defend their doubles crown from mother and daughter Kim and Kyana. (KB)
