Mathieu Griffith and Ashley Howell both rode off with two brand new scooters for Christmas after winning the men and women’s titles respectively in the recently concluded Keith ‘Grell’ Griffith Road Tennis Classic.

While Griffith registered a straightforward 21-16, 21-14 victory over Darnell Clarke, the relatively unknown Howell created a major upset by defeating the island’s number three ranked female Rachel Smith 17-21, 21-17, 21-17, at the Parkinson Field Courts over the weekend.

Clarke and Smith each won a bicycle compliments Pinelands Creative Workshop and $150.

It proved to be a double delight for the Howell family, as Ashley’s daughter Sarah took home the Under-11 girls’ title and a new laptop by overcoming arch rival Jakarta Archer 21-19, 21-11.

In the Under-11 boys’ final, Taquan Forde beat Devonte Gill 21-17, 21-17, while Zion Moore claimed the Under-14 boys’ title with a 21-17, 21-11 win over Rasha Browne.

Raquan Clarke was pushed all the way by Omari Savoury before eventually capturing the Under-17 boys’ title 17-21, 21-13, 21-17.

Organizer Brommel Griffith revealed that one of the major goals was to raise funds to purchase a prosthetic leg for Keith Griffith, after whom the competition was named.

He told Barbados Today that $7000 was raised and Griffith received his prosthetic on Thursday.
