The Finals
Ben Ford reports
Women's
final. Tory is playing at a high tempo, volleying as much as
possible and Gina is flustered making lots of errors. This continues
for first 2 games and Tory leads 2-0.
Tory leads 8-3 in 3rd and it looks all over but a couple of tough
rallies and Tory looks tired. Gina takes it and the 4th to take us
to a decider. It's close all the way but Tory closes out 11-9 for
the title.
Men's final. Piedro is hot favourite but josh has the home support.
Game starts with both players just feeling their way in but from
7all josh finds his range with some trademark winners to take the
game 11-7.
2nd
is tight but Piedro looks uncomfortable and josh sneaks it 11-9.
Josh is getting more confident and the winners are flowing. 11-5 to
josh to beat the world no.68 and claim his first PSA title at the
club where he has learned his trade over the last 7 years!

slower than yesterday. 36 mins for a 11/2 11/4 11/6 victory
In the second semi Josh Masters is out the blocks quickest ,
storming to an 11/4 first game with his usual array of hammered
lengths and plenty of winners. In the second game a few mistakes
from josh and some winners of his own from Tristan Eysele for 11/3
and one game all.
Josh gets back to business in the third and fourth winning 11/3 11/6
to go through to his seconnd PSA final this year.
