Success For Saint Lucia 43rd Independence Anniversary Squash Tournament

Press Release:–  In celebration of Saint Lucia’s 43^rd Anniversary of Independence the St. Lucia Squash Association would like to announce the successful completion of the annual Independence Squash Team Tournament played on Saturday February 22, 2022 at the St. Lucia Yacht Club (SLYC) in Rodney Bay.

The squash players were organized into 4 sponsored teams consisting of TEAM-758GeekSquad,

TEAM-Regodolls Spice, TEAM-Caribbean Blue Naturals, and TEAM-Ferrands. The fast-paced and exciting matches played throughout the tournament offered spectators an entertaining afternoon, as 72 games were played in total.

As this was a team tournament, the players were ranked according to their skill level and then competed against players of the same ranking from the other teams. All points scored in a game were added to the respective teams’ final score. So even if a player lost a game, every point scored helped to contribute the final team scores.

The final team score results of the tournament were as follows:

1^st place            TEAM-Caribbean Blue Naturals                        227 points

2^nd place           TEAM-758GeekSquad                                       224 points

3^rd place           TEAM-Ferrands                                                  212 points

4^th place           TEAM-Regodolls Spice                                       158 points
