James and Parker to contest AJ Bell England Championships
final
Commonwealth Games Bronze Declan James and World No.42 George Parker
will contest the final of the AJ Bell England Squash Championships 2021
in Manchester today after prevailing in yesterday’s riveting
semi-finals.
 24-year-old
Parker, who captured the England Squash Challenge title three months
earlier on the same court, overcame a stern test from World No.134 Nick
Wall in a dramatic last four clash which went the full distance.
After sweeping aside top seed James Willstrop in straight games in the
previous round, 20-year-old Wall refused to go down without a fight.
The duo battled for a gruelling 70 minutes but it was Parker’s
experience and physicality that came to the forefront in the last game
to prevail 11-8, 9-11, 12-10, 8-11, 11-6.
 Meanwhile,
World No.23 Declan James claimed an equally thrilling four-game battle
against World No. 53 Richie Fallows. Profiting off a series of strokes
from his opponent, James’s consistency and steely determination kept
Fallows at bay to close out 11-8, 6-11, 11-9, 11-5 in 74 minutes.
In the women’s, top seed Sarah-Jane Perry and England Squash Challenge
champion Georgina Kennedy will go head-to-head in today’s final after
topping their respective groups following a clean sweep of victories.
British National champion Perry has been rarely tested all week, and put
on a clinical masterclass in her last group match against World No.99
Grace Gear, storming to a 11-2, 11-5, 11-1 (18m) victory.
 Kennedy,
meanwhile, outmanoeuvred and stunned second seed Millie Tomlinson in a
hard-fought four-game encounter to prevail 11-6, 11-6, 5-11, 11-2 (41m).
The 3/4 and 5/6 play-offs commence at 3pm today with the finals
scheduled for 5pm - watch
