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.

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.
