Top squash at Palace Open 2012

The 'Palace Open' Tournament has become an annual fixture on the Malta Squash calendar, and is always one of the most popular tournaments that the Malta Squash Association organises.

All the national team players are expected to take part in this event, which is taking place on the 10 March, at the Malta Union Club, because it will be the last tournament before the European Team Championships which are being held in Malta from the 18th till the 21st April.

Although there will still be three categories, the format this time is slightly different. There is the usual 'A' men's event for National team and top players, the 'B' Open is for intermediate players and beginners, and then there is also a 'Ladies' Open event for all levels of players.

One of the main attractions to this tournament are the squash courts themselves; they are amongst the best on the island, and are very popular with the Squash fraternity. The very generous prizes donated by the Palace Hotel also help immensely in attracting the attention of all local squash enthusiasts.

The tournament organiser is Ivan Balzan, and those interested in participating may do so through e-mail [email protected]. The closing date for this tournament is Wednesday 7 March.
