FITZ AND WHITE CLAIM
AUSSIE NATIONAL TITLES
Five times world champion, Sarah Fitz-Gerald, added the inaugural
Australian Closed Women’s Championships silverware to her overflowing
trophy cabinet, when she defeated fellow Melburnian Dianne Desira, 9/1,
9/6, 9/4, in the Victorian regional city of Bendigo.
"It's been a
great experience playing in the first Australian Nationals and I am
delighted to have won this special title," said Fitz-Gerald.
"I feel very passionately about playing for and in Australia and I am
glad to be able to support the national governing body in this way.
Hopefully my attendance will have given the event and the sport a little
boost here," Sarah added
Although, as expected, Fitz-Gerald totally dominated the Women's event
in Bendigo, Sarah was pleasantly surprised by the fighting spirit shown
by the 21-year-old World No39.
"The future of Australian women's squash lies in the hands of youngsters
such as Desira and my semi-final opponent, 20-year-old Amelia Pittock,"
said the World Champion at the presentations.
The Men’s Championship final was also an all Victorian affair, with
World no 62, Cameron White, overpowering Mark Price, younger
brother of world no 21, Paul - 15/9, 15/13, 15/5. White, who is looking
towards his third consecutive State title in September, overcame a
resilient Price to down the world no 103 in a 55 minute encounter.
