Young Tennis Stars Shine in Guardian General’s 27th Annual Youth Tennis Tournament.

Guardian General Insurance (OECS) Limited has reaffirmed its pledge to the Grenada Tennis Association’s Junior Tennis Tournament by hosting its annual competition on December 11th and 12th 2021. For the past 27 years, Guardian General has been the proud title sponsor of the annual year end event and has demonstrated that even in light of the ongoing pandemic, the tournament ensured that participants were able to practice camaraderie safely, while showcasing their skill and engaging in a sport they love.

The tournament coordinated by the Grenada Tennis Association, was opened by Richard “Richie” Hughes, former Grenada National Tennis Coach, who oversaw the matchups of 30 players and was delighted with their enthusiasm and sportsmanship. For the third year, the tournament also welcomed a player contingent from Carriacou, a mixed team of 6 girls and 4 boys, their 10 member group growing in representatives from previous years.

In attendance was Bernard Wilson, veteran tennis player and representative for Guardian General Insurance (OECS) Limited, who opened the games and wished the participants well in his opening remarks. He also shared on two (2) important aspects - ‘socialisation and sunlight’ and reminded all that the tournament, - “Is not about winning or losing, rather the environment provides a wonderful opportunity for the youngsters to be with one another and in the outdoors!

He pointed out that his wish is that reciprocal arrangements continue to take place throughout the tri-island state. He advised that this had already commenced with a mainland contingent of youth having already visited Carriacou to engage in the sport. 

Also on hand to witness the two day tournament was Jason Stanisclaus – Secretary of the Grenada Tennis Association and tournament co-ordinator.
