Simon Parke confirmed his position as Companion allpay.net Open Champion 2006, defeating Andy Whipp in straight games to take the title in little over 40 minutes. Andy didn't seem to be quite up to usual standards, hitting 4/5 tins in each game, and this was exacerbated by a back strain that manifested itself early during the third game. In contrast, Simon was playing tight, controlled squash and moving well to boot. He never looked in trouble and seemed to be happy playing a patient game, waiting for the seemingly inevitable error or loose ball. I think Simon learnt from yesterday's game with Steve Coppinger that these courts down here respond well to a good length and a high pace is not always the best way to play them. The event was enjoyed enormously by the members and sponsors alike. Congratulations to Simon, a deserved winner and we look forward to hosting everyone again next year. |
