BSPA Squash at Edinburgh Sports Club
The Edinburgh leg of the BSPA tour has once again reached us and Edinburgh Sports Club will play host to some top-class squash (last year’s winners were Peter Barker World No.#6 and Vicky Botwright former World ranked No.#5).
The Artemis sponsored tournament (with a £10K prize fund) will be on from Thursday 28th to Sunday 31st of January 2010 and everyone is more than welcome to come over to watch and support the event according to event co-ordinator Simon Boughton.
Scotland’s top players will be pitting themselves against some seasoned pros from south of the border and looking to take some scalps, just as Peter O’Hara did last year with a magnificent run to the quarter-finals beating Joel Hinds (PSA No.#127) on the way. And not forgetting Harrow’s Alan Clyne who was only stopped at the semi-final stage by Irishman John Rooney (PSA No.#84).
Scottish Junior Squash Open 2009/10
The Scottish Junior Open (Mon 28th Dec – Thurs 31st Dec) is part of the European Junior Tour and once again has attracted some of Scotland’s and the Worlds Top names from all age groups.
The Jordanian Brothers Mohammad and Ahmad Alsaraj will lead the charge in the Boys U13 and U15 as they have European rankings of No.#2 and No.#1 respectively in their age groups.

Results of the Western Squash Doubles Tournament
There was a great turn out for the inaugural Western Doubles tournament in Glasgow this weekend with 16 players competing in two round-robin groups which produced seedings for a knockout rounds after this. 
In Group A the top teams were Martin Woods/Gavin Dillon and also Paul Sweeney/Ross Lawrie and in Group B they were Owen Hadden/Morgan Maguire and Mat Mackie/myself.
The best of 3 semi-finals saw Martin/Gavin lose to v Paul/Ross and in the other semi Owen/Morgan were very narrowly piped by Mat/me (15-13 in the 3rd game).
So with 30 seconds break (!) the final was underway and it was the youngsters (Paul/Ross in case you’re in any doubt!) who took the honours in 3 games, winning 15-11 in the last game.Thanks to Logie and Western for getting everyone there, as it was a great fun tournament and all involved appeared very keen to do it again in the New Year.
