Round 2 of the 2010 Premier Squash League (PSL) last night saw a shock 4-1 defeat for current champions ‘Surrey Health & Rackets’ at the hands of ‘Exeter Diamonds’.
Alan Clyne was playing for the Surrey side and lost a tight 4 set match to Jonathan Hartford 11-5 10-12 11-3 12-10
But neither side were able to top the B group (south) as ‘TWP St Georges Hill’ (led by PSA No.13 Daryl Selby and WISPA No.9 Laura Massaro) beat ‘UWE Bristol’ to clinch No.1 spot in the table by just 1 point to Exeter.
In group ‘A’ (north-ish) Esporta Oxford, led by Chris Ryder PSA No.36 and Madeline Perry WISPA No. 6, top the group as they won 5-0 against Nottingham. However ‘Chappel Allerton’ went straight into 2nd= place (led by Alistair Walker PSA No.20 and Jenny Duncalf WISPA No.2) as they started their campaign off with a 5-0 win against Pontefract (who have Simon Parke, Lee Beachill and Vanessa Atkinson).

Harrow’s Alan Clyne was part of the PSL (Premier Squash League’s) winning team last week as he beat Scott Handley in 5 games to take his team (Surrey H&R) to a 3-2 win against Esporta Oxford.
Alan, who is now at an all time high of No.62 in the PSA World Rankings, came from 7-10 (match point) down in the 5th against a very experienced opponent in Scott Handley and said afterwards that ”I though it was going to be tough, but I didn’t want it to be that tough!”.
Congratulations to Alan on another milestone in his career.
