Orla
Crowned Flowerbulb Champion
Orla Noom
secured her second WISPA World Tour title of the year and the fourth
of her career with an impressive display of high quality squash against
top-seeded Lauren Siddall in the final of the Squash Hillegom
Flowerbulb Open in Hillegom in the Netherlands.
The 23-year
old Dutch girl dominated play from the outset against her one year older and
higher-ranked opponent from England - and took the opening game with
relative ease.
Top seed
Siddall, 24, from Pontefract in Yorkshire, fought back to take a 9-6 lead in
the second, but it was the determined Noom however who clinched game two on
a tie-break. The event favourite from England did not give up though,
making the Hoofddorp heroine earn every single point.
Noom proved
too strong in the end as the world number 41 claimed her 11-6, 12-10, 11-8
victory to become the third successive Dutch winner of the title.
