The Randall & Quilter Legends of Squash Bermuda now in its third
year, will see four time World Champion Amr Shabana join
an all-star draw featuring Thierry Lincou, Jonathon
Power, David Palmer, Lee Beachill and John
White.
 After holding major events like the PSA
Masters and World Open in the early 2000’s Bermuda had enjoyed a
small break from top class squash before the Legends of Squash
proved to be a massive success back in 2014.
The tiny remote island now is home to an annual event for the
Legends attracting sellout crowds and all the top retired
players every year.
Bermuda, which for those who don’t know is in the North
Atlantic, situated about two hours flying time from New York,
Toronto and Miami. Due to its position in the warm Gulf Stream
it enjoys tropical climate year round despite its northerly
position.
The ideal back drop for a great squash event in a beautiful
place which is just 21 square miles of mostly golf courses and
beaches, it easy to see why the players are keen to return year
after year.
The last two years saw repeat finals featuring David Palmer and
Thierry Lincou who shared the spoils which one win each. This
year’s addition of Amr Shabana will definitely make the road to
the title a little more difficult!
"We are delighted to have all the players back
in Bermuda again and especially excited to welcome Amr to the
Legends fun.
"It’s such a pleasure to get the chance to see these players
relive old rivalries battle hard on court as well as on the
putting green!
"Of course the players spend a lot of time on court through the
week with our junior players and club members as well which is
just a fantastic experience for all involved.
"Looking forward to a great Legends 2016."
