Holder still a hot shot

ROAD TENNIS’ number one female player Kim Holder does not look ready to hand the key to that $60 000 Kia Rio to her nemesis Sheldene Walrond just yet.

In recent times, the previously invincible Holder has fallen to Coast Guard officer Walrond, suggesting that time was being called on her long-run of dominance.

However, when the Barbados Public Workers Co-Operative Credit Union Monarchs of the Court continued at De Big Rock Arena on Spring Garden Highway on Wednesday night, Holder showed some of her old form.

With Walrond in the stands watching and both of the cars on offer creating a tempting backdrop, Holder destroyed Abigail Haynes 21-12, 21-15 while wielding her racket like Thor’s hammer as if to summon more thunder and lightning to disrupt the tournament. (KB)
