Guyana has stepped forward on just two weeks’ notice to host the 2025 Caribbean Area Squash Association (CASA) Senior Championships, rescuing the event after it was forced to move from Jamaica following a devastating hurricane.The Senior CASA tournament, which typically takes place in August but was rescheduled for November due to a conflict with the Pan-American Championships, will run from November 23 to 30.The announcement was made by Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Charles Ramson Jr, during the National Sports Commission awards ceremony on Saturday evening.Matches will be played primarily at the National Racquet Centre—home to the Caribbean’s only public squash courts—alongside the Georgetown Club.The decision to host the tournament was led by David Fernandes, who serves as both President of the Guyana Squash Association (GSA) and CASA.Fernandes indicated that with the facilities already available in Guyana, the priority was ensuring the event was not cancelled, given the difficult circumstances in Jamaica.In a notable gesture, it is understood that any surplus funds generated from hosting the event will be donated directly to the hurricane relief efforts in Jamaica.Guyana enters the competition as the team to beat, having held the overall title for the past four consecutive years. The senior national team was also recently voted the Team of the Year for 2024 by the National Sports Commission.Over 130 athletes from nine countries are expected to compete.This year’s tournament marks a significant milestone with the inclusion of the Dominican Republic, who officially join CASA for the first time.The post Guyana steps in to host Senior CASA after Jamaica hurricane blow appeared first on News Room Guyana.
