The Guyana Squash Association (GSA) will stage its first annual Senior Easter Tournament sponsored by Ansa McAl which begins on Wednesday April 17 at 18:30hrs at the Georgetown Club’s Squash Facility.
The event is the GSA’s third tournament of the year following the Bounty Farm Mash Handicap Tournament and the Toucan Industries Kool Aid Junior Easter Skill Level Tournament. Jason Ray Khalil was the victor of the Bounty Farm Mash Handicap Tournament, while two-time Caribbean junior champion Nyron Joseph won the Kool Aid Junior Easter Skill Level tournament.
Khalil had been injured during the Kool Aid Junior Easter Skill Level tournament but has since recuperated and is expected to compete this week.
Other seniors on the local scene include Ashley Khalil, Raphael DeGroot and Nicholas Narain, who finished second to Khalil in the Bounty Farm Handicap tournament.
Although this is a senior tournament, many of the junior players will be competing as they look to sharpen their skills in preparation for the Caribbean Area Squash Association’s (CASA) Junior Caribbean Championships which will be held in Trinidad and Tobago July 21-29.
The Senior Easter Tournament sponsored by Ansa McAl is expected to be played each weeknight beginning at 18:00hrs.
The competition will also be played during the weekend when the semifinal and finals will bring the curtains down on the tournament this Sunday.
The GSA continues to be sponsored by Digicel Guyana.
