GO is to sponsor a pro-am tournament at the Marsa Sports Club on Sunday week.

It is a one-day event, starting at 2.30pm, which will see past and present players taking part in a doubles event.

The 32 players will include the Asciaks – Gordon, Helen and Matthew – Chris Gatt, Carol Cassar Torreggiani, Lisa Camenzuli, the brothers Cappello, the Delicatas and others. These will all be invited to take part.

It is hoped that this will be the first in a series of events to be sponsored by GO which has already sponsored the recent tennis event at Freedom Square in Valletta. In fact, another similar event is to be held in Sliema near the end of summer.

GO Chief Executive Officer David Kay yesterday presented a sponsorship cheque to the president of the Malta Tennis Federation, Dr David Farrugia Sacco. GO has become the main sponsor of the federation.
