The B.S.P.A. North of Scotland Open at Aberdeen Squash Club saw the World No.40 Chris Ryder claim the 2010 title by beating Max Lee (world Ranked #77) in a hard-fought 3-1 final.

Chris joins a very impressive hall of fame that includes Peter Nicol, Lee Beachill, Alex Gough, Azlan Iskander, and the late great John Dale. 

Chris Ferguson flew the flag for Scotland by reaching the quarter finals and only narrowly losing to Arthur Gaskin (Ireland’s World ranked No.#90).

Harrow’s Kevin Moran also lost to Arthur Gaskin in the previous round (3-1) and tournament organiser Ali Gorrie lost to Irishman and the former World No.7 Derek Ryan.

Adrian Grant and Vanessa Atkinson win the 2010 Edinburgh BSPA Tournament.

In an upset to the seedings Adrian’s opponent in the final was Saurav Ghosal World No.#29 (as he beat Daryl Selby World No.#13) and the Indian No.#1 made Adrian work very hard for the 3-1 victory in the final, which took an hour and 10 minutes.

Vanessa managed to win her final with a 3-0 victory over Nicollett Fernandes in just half an hour; after returning last Thursday just-in-time from New York (where her boyfriend James Wilstrop won the ‘Tournament of Champions’ title).

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).
