Bermuda v New York – Final Standings
*** JAMES STOUT IS WORLD CHAMPION***
Posted by Pat Foster on 09-Nov-2008Categories: News Comments: [comments closed]
James Stout, based in New York, ran away with the Rackets Singles World Championships title on Saturday 8 November at Queen’s with a scoreline of 15-11 and 15-6. In the first game, it took 20 minutes to get past the half way mark, but thereafter his superiority came to the fore, and in the final game of the Single title Harry Foster only got 6 points on the scoreboard. The match was played in front of a packed and excitable gallery, with applause and hollering at almost every point, and the outgoing Champion received a huge ovation at the presentation. The gallery contained many former rackets world champions, including Geoffery Atkins, and we were delighted to have a good sprinkling of North American visitors for the weekend
For the record, the First Leg was won by James Stout 4 games to 1, and the Second Leg was also won by James Stout 2 games to 0, both being best of 7 in each venue. In the Second Leg, Stout only neeed to go 2 games ahead to clinch it
Even start between Bermuda and NY

AF Smith Team Tournament Gossip…
Posted by Pat Foster on 31-Oct-2008Categories: News Comments: [comments closed]
The closing date for entries for this years AF Smith Corporate Team Championships is fast approaching on November 9th so get your entries in!
The announcement of the opening of entries last week caused a few rumours to start flying around the club… Dave Elliott may make an appearance back on court… a super strong all womens team is looking to take the title… Mel Caines may be 100% fit and back on court… that Chris Dawson may remember to enter on time and last but not least was some general banter involving Bruce Robinson, Dan Sullivan, Christian Ince and handicaps…
New rumours are also starting to surface regarding whether Kevin Gillespie or Dave Turner will even be able to play after breaking their squash racquets last night (not in the normal course of play!)… whether Tommy Sherratt’s handicap is going to be considerably higher than in last months Rubis tournament!… whether Kim Morbey is actually going to play in this tournament or just spectate from the bar like the last one… whether Nick Kyme is going to make an appearance… whether we will get a team entry from the committee!… which one of the Brewer brothers has confirmed his entry with a new team… whether last years champions the’Worldly Wackers’ are going to defend their title….
Any other rumours you’ve heard of?? send them in to me with your entry form at patrickf@bermudasquash.com
