James and Kennedy
favourites for British U23 Titles
This weekend sees the British U23 Championships return once again to
Hunts County Squash Club in Cambridgeshire. Last season saw
Charles Sharpes (Surrey) and Carrie Ramsey(Yorkshire) take the
prestigious British titles which through the support of the Hunts
County team have become much desired on the domestic squash
calendar.
The
favourite for the men’s title is Declan James (Nottinghamshire)
who has had a great start to 2015, winning the London U23
Championships and the Guilfoyle Financial PSA Classic in Canada and
is now No66 in the World Rankings. James is likely to meet 3/4 seed
Ashley Davies (Derbyshire) in Saturdays semi finals should
matches go to seed, Davies will be looking to make his mark in this
event after an injury hit start to his professional career.
The
bottom half of the draw sees former European U19 Champion Richie
Fallows (Essex)as the No2
seed. Fallows, still 19 is now world No75 and making good progress
on the tour having won the Pilatus Cup and reaching 7 semi finals in
the past year. One of those semi final results was against Declan
James in the London U23 Championships which James won in the 5th,
Fallows will be hoping for a role reversal should they meet in the
final on Sunday. James Earles (Yorkshire) occupies the 3/4
seeded position in the bottom half and will be sure to test Fallows
for that final spot having reached 3 tour semi finals himself this
year so far.
The
current World University Champion, Millie Tomlinson (Derbyshire)
comes into the event as top seed in the Womens draw. Tomlinson now
No61 in the world rankings is starting to make progress on the tour
after studying in America and now has 2 tour titles to her name,
most recently the Liberty Bell Open in January. Seeded to meet her
in the final is the current English, British and European U19
Champion Georgina Kennedy (Kent). Kennedy, world ranked 89
recently won the London U23 Championships and will be looking to
cause an upset and add the British title to her collection. Jess
Davies (Cheshire) and Alison Thomson (Surrey) hold the
3/4 seeded positions and they will also be hoping to have their say
on who contests the trophy.
To
add an extra bit of spice to proceedings the winners of the two
titles will be rewarded with local spots in the Allam British
Open Qualification which takes place in Hull between 9-17 May.
Play starts at Hunts County Squash Club at 14.00pm on Friday 24
April and concludes with the finals from 1.00pm on Sunday 26 April.
