The Barbadian squash delegation at the Central American and Caribbean (CAC) Games in the Dominican Republic has delivered a second gold medal.

Playing in the final of the women’s team competition, Barbados defied the loss of Amanda Haywood due to injury to defeat Colombia 2-1.

Haywood sustained a leg injury earlier in the day during the semifinal victory over Mexico and was forced to forfeit her match in the final, which handed Colombia a critical 1-0 lead.
