Sinks Champion Rooney In West of
Ireland
Final In Galway
England's Scott Handley denied John
Rooney a second successive Garavan's West of Ireland Open title
when he beat the home hero in straight games in the final of the
PSA Super Satellite squash event at Galway Tennis Club in
Galway,
Ireland.
Handley,
the top seed from Oxfordshire, beat
Austria's
Aqeel Rehman 3/0 in the semi-finals to reach his 14th PSA
Tour final - but his first for almost a year.
In
the other semi-final, second-seeded
Galway boy
Rooney battled for four games to overcome South African Clinton Leeuw to
reach the third Tour final of his career - hoping to maintain his 100% record in
finals to date.
But
Handley was too strong for the 28-year-old defending champion - beating Rooney
11-6, 11-10 (2-0), 11-8 in 44 minutes to notch up the ninth PSA Tour title of
his career.
