The Weston Squash and Racketball Club
Racketball Championships were held recently and attracted some players of very
high calibre.
Tom Lane the defending champion was the top seed but fell in
a marathon five game epic semi final against James Hazzard which lasted for
nearly two hours with both players near to collapse. This set up a final with
Rob Watkins who had defeated Jerry Lane in his semi final. Both finalists are
better known for their squash achievements but adopted well to the racketball
format which requires a more patient approach with the emphasis on rallying
rather than winning shots.
Although Rob won 3-0 ,the final lasted in excess of an hour
with each game closely contested. James perhaps still suffering from his long
semi final made one or two critical errors as Rob ground him down with a fine
length and tight shots. |
