 Omar Hayward has picked up his first victory at the World Boccia Americas Regional Championships, boosting his chances of progressing in the BC1 Male Division after a difficult start to the tournament.
The Bermudian secured a comprehensive win in his third match, defeating Kevin Barillas Murga of El Salvador by a comfortable 7-1 margin.
The result is a vital lift for Hayward, who had previously suffered back-to-back defeats against tough opposition in his first two outings.
With the victory, Hayward now sits 3rd in his division as the pool competition nears its climax. He will need to carry the momentum from this dominant performance into his remaining matches to secure one of the coveted spots in the elimination rounds of the championships. The individual competition continues over the coming days.
