The competition which started on Saturday, 1 September, was scheduled to end on Saturday, 8 September, but has suffered series of setbacks with the incessant rainfalls in Lagos State.
About 50 participants, both male and female for the Singles event, have been slugging it out inside the VGC Recreational Club and have set their sights on the top prize at the end of the tournament.
