With the aim of making a historic three-peat, Guyana’s senior squash players will head off to the Cayman Islands for the Senior Caribbean Area Squash Association (Senior CASA), from August 20-26.

Guyana made a successful defence of their title last year in Jamaica, with dominant performances of both the Men and Women’s teams.

At a simple ceremony on Thursday afternoon at the Georgetown Club, representatives of a few of the sponsors were present to wish the players well on their journey to claiming a third straight title.

Team Guyana is sponsored by ENet, Ansa McAL Trading, Republic Bank, Cage Guyana Inc., Guyana Olympic Association and the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport.
