Marche Marches To Hemubo Glory

 

France's Gregoire Marche clinched the Hemubo Squash Trophy with an impressive display against Finnish qualifier Henrik Mustonen in the final of the PSA Tour Satellite squash event in Almere in the Netherlands.

 

The 18-year old from Aix-en-Provence took only 28 minutes to claim his second PSA Tour title.  The European Junior Champion stamped his authority on the match from the word go and never looked in danger against the tired looking Mustonen, who was playing his sixth match in less than 72 hours.

 

Marche's 11-8, 11-4, 11-6 victory gives the French teenager a 100% success rate in PSA Tour finals.

 

It was also a commendable performance by Mustonen, the 17-year-old qualifier from Hollola in Finland who despatched second seed Gregory Lecerf and third seed Rene Mijs en-route to reaching his maiden Tour final.
