Premier Squash League (PSL) 2010
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).
What a league that is! To see all Round 2 results chick here.

Commonwealth Games Squash
The Scottish Squash team of Alan Clyne, Harry Leitch, Chris Small, Lyall Patterson, Lisa Aitken and Frania Gillen-Buchert flew out to today to compete in the Commonwealth Games in Delhi.
And the hunt for a medal in both the men’s doubles and the mixed doubles is the main target for the team; although I’m sure an individual medal would not be turned down either!
Good luck to the team (hope the athletes village is finished and clean!)
No Let – Stroke
It seems that the demise of the ‘Yes, let” call is fast approaching. In the US they are trialling games with both limited lets and none at all; and as you can see from the clip below the reaction from the players is positive (see a guest appearance from Scotland’s Lyall Patterson in this U-Tube clip!)

Harrow’s Alan Clyne Retires at Malaysian Open
Alan Clyne had to pull out injured in the second qualifying round at the $52K Malaysian Open in Kuala Lumpur, due to an ankle injury that meant that he couldn’t lunge towards the ball – AC quote “which is fairly important in squash!”
Alan tweeted that his ankle had been getting more and more sore each day he’d been away so it was immediately obvious that he would not be able to continue in his match against Australian Ryan Cuskelly (PSA No.#43) and he retired after just 7 minutes.
Alan’s quick retirement should help to minimise any long-term injury as he looks towards the Commonwealth Games in India later this year.
