19-Aug-2010:
Power Cranked Up for
9Telecom Legends
Jonathon
Power is fired up for a return to competitive action at the
9 Telecom Legends of Squash tournament that will take place at
St. Georges Hill LT & SC.
The normally quiet grounds in Weybridge are likely to see sparks
fly as Power looks to get a jump on arch rival Peter Nicol.
The two often crossed rackets throughout their illustrious
careers and although older and wiser the tension will be
crackling should they both negotiate their way to a
mouth-watering final clash.
The Gold
Tour event will take place from 3rd-6th September and
will coincide with the club’s grand opening of its brand new
all-glass McWIL squash court in St. George’s fantastic new
auditorium.
However both players will be severely tested in the form of
ex-World no.1 & world’s hardest hitter John White and ex-World
no.3 Simon Parke. The exciting line-up of Legends will be
completed by ex-World no.2 Peter Marshall and the former
British Open Champion David Evans as well as two local
wildcards.
Power is taking timeout from opening his National Squash Academy
in Toronto and is keen to step back into competitive action.
"All
of the guys who are lining up will fancy their chances as no-one
is quite sure how much work the others have done. When we step
on the court the gloves will be off as we are all itching to
prove we still have what it takes to be a champion.
"It is going to be great to be back in the UK and there is
obviously nothing I would enjoy more than beating Peter in his
own tournament on his home patch!"
Tickets are selling quickly so
