2012 US Open
The World No.1 & 2 crashed out in the semi-finals of the men’s US Open to leave the door open for either Ramy or Gregory G to take the 2012 title.
Ramy Ashour beat Nick Matthew 3-1 and Gregory Gaultier beat James Willstrop 3-0 in the semi-finals. And with tough match after tough match taking its toll on the top seeds, it showed that when you’re not 100% against this quality of opposition they can take full advantage with wonderful shot play.
The final itself was dominated by Ramy, winning his 1st US Open title in three straight games, as the Frenchman had no answer to his speed and control (11-4 11-9 11-9).
In the WISPA event Nicol David took the title from the young pretender Raneem El Weleily to win the her first US Open. In-so-doing she established a new record of titles by winning her 63rd final (beating Sarah Fitz Gerald’s previous record).
Squash Skills? Well it’s funny anyway!
NOW THIS IS FUNNY!

DLWE v Newlands 3 – Away (Match Report) 26th Sept 2012
Wednesday 26th September 2012 – 1st Team
1st game of the season! Fabulous! And at Newlands where there were 40 players and a great atmosphere.
Newlands 3rd team were our opponents and first up was our very own Captain Cantlay v John Rae. John had his intimidating Scotland t-shirt on, but Rich must have just though he was just one of the Tartan Army as he tried to start a sing along and buy him a pint!

British Grand Prix Squash Final 2012 – James Wilstrop v Nick Matthew
The world ranked No.1 & No.2 met in the 2012 British Grand Prix Final.
In the top half of the draw James Wilstrop just edged Gregory Gaultier to take his final spot, after a really tough 118 minute semi-final in Manchester’s $70K Springfield Solutions Tournament.
In the other half of the draw Nick Matthew beat Peter Barker 3-0 in 48 minutes, so with the easier game Nick was favourite for the final (despite being the No.2 seed) and so it transpired as he won the title 3-1 (4-11 11-6 11-9 11-6)

West Squash Knockout Cup Final ‘A’ Event – DLWE 1 v Newlands 1
Well, well, well! If you’d have told me THAT was going to be the result before the match, I’d have bitten your arm off.
We were up against the West 1st Division Champions and quite frankly expecting to get a humping. The format for the Final of the ‘Knockout Cup’ is to play 3 games – up to 15 – with a 4 man team (so if the match is a 2-2 draw every game counts and it goes to count-back.
First up was Rich (Cantlay) at No.3 and he was up against a very good player in Paul Sweeney.
