Bounty Farm Mash Handicap tournament underway
The Guyana Squash Association (GSA) commenced its first tournament for the year, the 2014 Bounty Farm Mash Handicap Tournament last evening at the Georgetown Club Squash Facility. 
The tournament, which has gained a reputation for being one of the Association’s biggest and most entertaining events of the calendar season, is expected to live up to the hype once again this year. Close to 50 players have registered, been seeded and commenced action last evening.
Defending champion Jason-Ray Khalil has once again been given the most severe handicap of the tournament with -22. The 19-year-old former Caribbean junior champion will be hoping to win back to back titles to improve his record to three Bounty Farm Handicap titles in four years.
Last year’s runner up Nicholas Narain has been given a -8 handicap, while two-time junior Caribbean Champion Ben Mekdeci has been given a -10 handicap.
Ashley Khalil will be hoping to stay alive as long as possible with her -3 handicap, while Ashley deGroot and Alec Melville may both be able to breathe easier on the positive side with +2. Sarah Lewis (-3) has her work cut out for her in Category A, which was won by Rebecca Low last year.
The tournament will continue every night before concluding on Saturday. The Bounty Farm Mash Handicap Tournament Barbeque will also be held on Saturday at the Georgetown Club and all are asked to support this fundraising venture. The Guyana Squash Association continues to be sponsored by Digicel Guyana.
