29-Aug-12: Power Back On for
9Telecom Legends 2012
Jonathon
Power is fired up for a return to the 9 Telecom Legends
of Squash after a disappointing tournament in 2011 when he
was forced to retire on day two with an elbow injury sustained
against Nick Taylor, that effectively ruined his chances of
success.
Twelve months on and Power is relishing the prospect of crossing
rackets with perennial rival Peter Nicol in the group
stage, before setting up a grand final tilt at ‘new boy’
David Palmer.
"It was really disappointing not to be able perform to the best
of my ability last year," commented former World Champion Power
from his National Squash Academy in Toronto.
"I
felt I was in good form, as proved to be the following week when
I won in Aberdeen, so I am looking forward to putting the record
straight this year.
"It is great to have David join the tour this year.
"In some ways it is a new challenge but in many an extension of
a fiery old one as people will see if they check out some of our
matches on YouTube," said Power with a wry smile.
The Gold Tour event will take
place from 14-17th September on the stunning Courtwall
all-glass court situated in the heart of the St. Georges Hill LT
& SC.
The top seeds need to also be wary of ex-World no.1 & world’s
hardest hitter John White and ex-World no.3 Simon
Parke. The exciting line-up of Legends is completed the
world’s most capped squash player, Derek Ryan, a former
world no.7 himself, and two local wildcards in the form of
ex-World no.11 Stephen Meads and 7-time European Club
Champion Tim Garner.
