THE opening night of the Guyana Squash Association’s (GCA) Senior National Championships got off to a less than auspicious start at Georgetown Club on Camp Street on Monday evening.

The final tournament for the year saw three walk-overs with only three of six scheduled encounters contested.

Watched by a handful of people on a cold and windy night, Samuel Ince-Carvalhal beat Regan Pollard 11-7, 11-6, 11-9 in the most competitive match of the evening.

In the other completed matches; Steven Xavier defeated Jason Van Dijk 11-5, 11-5, 11-2 while Louis Da Silva whipped Jonathan Antczak 11-5, 11-7, 11-0.

Daniel Ince got a walk-over from Michael Alphonso, Senior CASA Women’s Singles Champion, Ashley Khalil, got a walkover from Tian Edwards and CASA Singles finalist Taylor Fernandes had a walkover from Teija Edwards.

The competition was scheduled to continue last night, tonight and to conclude on Friday night.
