FOUR Walls Squash and Social Club proudly hosted the 2024 Four Walls Squash Open Championships May 23-25, marking the largest tournament since the club’s inception during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The event featured four highly competitive divisions, a first for the club, underscoring the growth and increasing popularity of the indoor racket sport.

“We are thrilled with the incredible turnout and the high level of competition displayed at this year’s championships. The event showcased the competitive spirit of our squash community and talent across all skill levels,” said Michael Fields, tournament director.

“The success of this event is a testament to the dedication of our players, the support of our sponsors – International Private Banking Systems (IPBS), Technical Adjusters, and Seven Seas – and the vibrant squash community that has flourished here since our opening,” said Fields.

Both seasoned players and emerging talents competed, culminating in thrilling finals that captivated a large and enthusiastic audience. 

The winners of the respective divisions were:

· Men’s Division A: Jon Hope

· Open Division B: Vibert Williams

· Men’s Division C: Dhurai Ferguson

· Women’s Division C: Kristin Whylly

“This tournament came on the heels of our rookie tournament hosted in March and it was notable to see Kristin win a nail-biter as the Division C champion after recently winning the rookie tournament. Squash is a game where you can have fun and be competitive at every level,” said Fields.
