David Fernandes will be the face of squash in Guyana for yet another year, as he was re-elected to the premier position of the Guyana Squash Association (GSA) once again.
Serving at the helm of the Squash Association since 2013, Fernandes is of the opinion that he still has what it takes to steer squash forward.
Fernandes’ election came at the Association’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the Georgetown Club over the weekend and will see him serving until 2020.
The post of Vice President will be taken up by Owen Verwey while Garfield Wiltshire takes up the position of Treasurer. Meanwhile, Lorraine Ince- Carvalhal will return as Secretary of the Association while Annabelle Singh acts as Assistant Secretary/ Treasurer.
Juanita Fernandes will now take up the position of Chairperson of the Junior Affairs Committee and the Clubs Committee will be spearheaded by new Chairperson Robin Low.
Tiffany Solomon will be the person in charge of Competitions and Tournaments while Suzanne DeAbreu takes up the reins as Sub- Committee Chairperson for fundraising.
The incumbent President is looking forward to a successful 2019 for squash as the Women and Juniors prepare for international engagements in Trinidad and Tobago and Peru respectively, while the local shores will host the Senior Caribbean Championship in July.
The recently-elected executive body of the Guyana Squash Association
In a statement released by the Association, the President expressed gratitude to players, their families and most importantly, the sponsors whose contributions have helped to keep squash alive and kicking. These entities include the Guyana Olympic Association (GOA); ExxonMobil; Bounty; Toucan; Woodpecker; Banks; ANSA McAL; Farfan and Mendes and the National Sports Commission (NSC).
For 2019, the GSA has already successfully completed the Bounty Handicap Tournament, with many other tournaments to follow in the remainder of the year.
