Kaieteur Sports – In a penultimate night filled with spectacular upsets, the BCQS Squash Masters Championship 2024 set the stage for an epic final day of action on Friday.

BCQS Squash Masters 2024 is a unique tournament feature in the Guyana Squash Association Tournament Schedule. This tournament acts as a Psuedo Southern Regional Veterans Championship and is made possible through the efforts of ‘Squash Enthusiast’ Sanjay Amin; Director of BCQS. Sanjay has been the driving force of BCQS Veterans Championships across the Caribbean region.
This has cultivated a level of competition throughout the veteran’s squash community which can be directly linked to the Caribbean’s success at the World Masters Games held in Warsaw Poland last year where Caribbean players achieved outstanding success, including a World Champion from Guyana’s very own Nicolette Fernandes.
