Ronke Kehinde/

Following the success of its inaugural edition in 2017, Chamberlain Squash Open (CSO) is set to roll its second edition with organisers promising a heavy dose of glitz and glamour in the much-awaited tournament.
‘’We are excited to take CSO to a bigger sporting facility where the fans can enjoy the game at its highest level.
‘’CSO received great response in the inaugural season and we are ready to kick off another edition of world class Squash experience for the fans, the Promoter, Mr. Chamberlain Usoh said.
According to him, the 6-day action packed competition will attract scores of A-rated local and foreign players.
The intercontinental Squash tournament will run from May 7 till May 12, 2018 when the final will be played at the indoor Sports Hall of Teslim Balogun Stadium, Surulere, Lagos.
Like last year, the tournament will begin with qualifying phase for both Men and Women from May 6th-7th 2018.
At the maiden edition, Briton Tom Ford beat Babatunde Ajagbe 3-1 in the men’s final, while Yemisi Olatunji saw off Udeme James 3-0 in the women’s final.
The organisers told NewsmakersNG that CSO is committed to promoting Squash in Nigeria and Africa.
