REPORTS
The final between Willstrop and Selby, was one of the best in the 20
years of the tournament. The first went to Willstrop who after leading
all the game was pulled back by Selby to 10-10 and won it on two good
winners. The second was a bit quicker 11-5 to Willstrop and it looked
like it could be all over. Not to be however, the match got better and
better 11-7 Selby then 11-7 again, two all.
The squash was second to none, outstanding rallies and winners from all
over the court. What followed in the fifth can be described as a rally
that was up there with the best ever, Selby in every corner, amazing
retrieving, finishing with having to dive to play a back wall boast
getting up and racing to the front to play an impossible straight drive
off a Wilstrop drop shot to win the rally, If only we had got it on
camera. The packed crowd where on their feet to applaud and the look on
referee John Massarellas face said it all. Alas it was runner up again
for Selby as Willstrop closed out 11-8, what an amazing match, when will
these athletes get the credit they deserve. It was a fitting final to
celebrate the 20th year
