Scotland had an amazing result in Dublin last weekend as the Over 40 side, captain by Peter Buchan, led his team of Frank Ellis, Malcolm Kerr, Alan Thompson, Craig Thompson and Scott Wilson to claim the Home International Over 40s title by beating Ireland 3-2, England 4-1 and Wales 5-0.

This is the first time a Scottish men’s team has won a full “Home International Masters Championship” involving all 4 home nations.

A really fantastic result – many congratulations to the team.

The Scottish men’s and women’s teams are competing in Nuremberg (2nd-5th May) for the 2012 European Team Championships.

The men’s team have played a blinder to get themselves into contention for a top 4 finish by reaching the semi-finals (their best placing since 1999).

They’ve got a tough one against the England this afternoon, as Alan Clyne (using his Harrow Vapor racket), Chris Small, Stuart Crawford (also with a Harrow Vapor), Greg Lobban (Harrow Power Spark), Dougie Kempsell (also with a Harrow Spark) and Kevin Moran are the squad who have done the business so far.

Congratulations to the Team for a top 4 finish!

Alan Clyne was runner-up to Alister Walker in the 2012 PSA $25K Irish Open this weekend. The Scottish No.1 (seen left with his Harrow Vapor racket) beat the No.2 seed Boran Golan to get into Saturday’s final against the World No. 18.

The tough semi-final that lasted almost 2 hours, must have taken it out of Alan as he lost the final 11-4 11-6 9-11 11-3 in 54 mins.

Good to see the profile of squash is getting bigger!

The British Open is at the O2 this year from the 14th to the 20th of May and with the home-grown players performing really well it should be a great home advantage for the Brits.
