Squash: AON win the local Stella Artois League

Posted on 4/20/2006 06:14:00 pm No Comments


AON Attack clinched the League on the final day of the season. They started the night with a seven point lead over ISIS and did enough to maintain a two point lead at the end of the night. ISIS applied pressure by obtaining all fifteen points after they beat Los Bujos (who eventually finished 5th), which left AON needing 9 points to win the League. Luckily for them, they managed to obtain 10 points against Baker Tilly with the following result:

Third Seed Gino De Haro (AON) beat Ian Collinson (Baker Tilly) by three games to nil.

Second Seed Mark Tewkesbury (AON) beat Charles Bottaro (Baker Tilly) by three games to nil.

First Seed Martin Lawrence (AON) lost to Steven Shacaluga (Baker Tilly) by three games to nil.

Two extra bonus points are obtained for matches won, so AON scored 10 points to Baker Tilly’s 5 points.

The Gibraltar Squash Association will be hosting an Andalucian Tournament this weekend, i.e. Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd April 2005 (venue will be the Gibraltar Squash Club). The event should start on Saturday at around 11:00hrs and continue for the rest of the day. Semi-finals and finals will be played on Sunday when the scheduled start will be 10:00hrs, finishing around 13:00hrs.

This will be the fourth time Gibraltar hosts an event in the Andalucian Calendar, although Gibraltarians have been participating in these events before that.

Past tournaments hosted in Gib have proved a big success and were very well attended. This is an individual event so no “teams” will be taking part, although we expect participants from all over Andalucia, even as far as Jaen and Almeria, with others coming from Cadiz, Marbella, Malaga, Seville, Jerez and more. Expectations are high that all the top Andalucian players (both men and ladies) will take part in the competition, including top local players. Number of entrants should be between 35 and 45 in total.

Anthony Brindle (Gib’s top player), aged seventeen is currently ranked fourth in the Andalucian circuit……we hope he has a good draw and can reach the semi-finals (at least)!!!

On a different note, a five man team (and two coaches) will be participating in the European Squash Team Championships to be held in Vienna from Wed 26th Apr to Sat 29th Apr. The Gib team will be playing Finland, Israel and Austria in the first round (round robin).

SportGibraltar would like to thank Nicholas De Haro for his report.
