PEARSON DOES THE WARKS COUNTY DOUBLE
Guy Pearson notched up a notable
double in the Warwickshire Racketball Championships at the weekend (2-4TH
Oct) at Edgbaston Priory when he won both the Men’s Open and the Junior
titles.
In the Men’s final, sponsored by
PROACT, the Kenilworth youngster beat Stuart Lynch, while in the
WORXINFO junior event, he eased past Jonathon Pitts of Studley by the
same margin. Top seed Nick Hynes was forced to withdraw during his semi
final against Tom Robinson (Kenilworth). In the other semi final, Pearson
beat Anil Ram Priory), who upset third seed Simon Fokes (West Warks) 3-2.
Vicky Hynes of Edgbaston Priory
retained her Women’s Open title, remarkably only two months after giving
birth to her second child, beating Grace Talbot of Kenilworth 3-0. Talbot
won the Junior Girls’ title, beating Libby Corke (Priory) 3-0 in the final.
This was the first time a Junior
County Racketball Championships has been held in the UK, and sponsor Graham
Greensall of Worxinfo is keen that it should become a regular feature of the
tournament calendar, and that other counties should follow Warwickshire’s
lead.
Proact, meanwhile, are happy to be
sponsoring the main events for a second year, under CEO Andy Smith, who also
captains Priory’s first team in the Warwickshire league.
Tournament Director Rob Shay was
delighted with the way the event ran, and added that he would like to see
more participants next year in the Junior and Women’s events.
