THE FATHER of road tennis will be honoured when the inaugural Lance Bynoe Veterans Road Tennis Tournament takes off next week.
At a launch at A One Supermarkets, Black Rock, on Thursday night, managing director Andrew Bynoe said he was pleased the company was taking the lead role in cementing his late uncle’s legacy.
The tournament runs from January 14 to 22 at the Rubis Sports Club in Brighton.
Bynoe said the game, which was invented by Lance Bynoe in the 1930s, first using his hand as a racket, has developed greatly since its beginning.
“The game has moved along significantly since then. Today it is seen as Barbados’ indigenous sport, designed and pioneered by Lance Bynoe to suit and encourage the participation of every boy or girl in our nation regardless of wealth or station in life,” he said. (RG)
