02-Mar, Finals:
Gillams and Fuller bag Bermuda titles

Angus Gillams (Eng) 3-0 Adam Murrills (Eng)

Gillams saved his best squash for the final in the is event. He started well, always in front of Murrills and playing error free squash capitalized on an early 5-0 lead to take the first game 11-6.

Another solid start in the second then saw Murrills find some form and come back at his fellow Englishman. Murrills has chances to sneak ahead but again Gillams found winners whenever needed taking the second game 11-7.

The third although closely fought followed the same pattern with a surge from Murrills mid game, but not enough to break Gillams rhythm. Gillams closed out the match with three winners to take the third game and the Bermuda Open 2018 Title.

Alex Fuller (Rsa) 3-1 Milnay Louw (Rsa)

A pulsating final with hard hitting and amazing retrievals from both players. Fuller started better attacking at every opportunity and pressuring Louw into errors.

Louw reset for game two and over a tight few points at the end of the game came out on top to level the match. Fuller however seemed to have an extra gear and again upped the pace to both attack ferociously and retrieve amazingly well when necessary.

In the end Fuller pulled away to become the Bermuda Open Champion 2018.

01-Mar, Semis:
English top seeds through to men's final,
South African women's champ assured ...

Angus Gillams (Eng) 3-1 Anthony Graham (Eng)

A hard physical battle peppered by way to many lets! Neither player either to really figure each other out movement wise resulting in constant clashes and discussion with referee Micah Franklin. In the end Gillams was able to stretch out Graham and find some amazing angles and winners to go through to the final.

Adam Murrills (Eng) 3-1 Kyle Finch (Eng)

Murrills started well getting the better of some intense rallies. Finch levelled with some high quality squash before somehow Murrills seemed to up the pace again for the 3rd and 4th sets managing to get the best of some well fought rallies.


Milnay Louw (Rsa) 3-0 Emilia Soini (Fin)

Action packed and topsy turvy is the way to describe this match. Emilia will be kicking herself after having leads of 7-0 in the second and 7-3 in the third and coming away with neither. In the end Milnay was steadier, more controlled and played the big points at the of each game really well.

Alex Fuller (Rsa) 3-0 Nicole Bunyan (Can)

Fuller got in front early and never really let up. Her speed around the court and continued pressure had Bunyan on the back foot throughout. Each game was close with chances for Bunyan to break through but each time she got close Fuller closed her down. A very solid performance from the South African.
