Nicol’s achievement is the latest milestone in an amazing career which has included a record eight World Championship titles, two Commonwealth Games gold medals to name just a couple of highlights.

Matthew & Walters Wins 2014 British Championships

James joked that he was 800-1 down in the series against Nick and although it’s not 800 it has been 7 years since James beat Nick in a PSA tour match (in 2007). 
In the women’s event Alison Walters defended her title beating Madeline Perry 3-0 to collect her 4th British Closed Championship. She made the most of her record-equalling eighth appearance in a Nationals Final as she beat first-time finalist Madeline Perry 11-3, 11-6, 11-6 in just over half an hour to claim her second title in a row.
