Aberdeen & Pontefract Share European Champions Cup Titles
Triumphs by Aberdeen and Pontefract produced a rare
British double in the European Champions Cup, the European Squash
Federation inter-club event formerly known as the European Club
Championships, at the Landala Squash Centre in Gothenburg,
Sweden.
Top seeds Aberdeen secured the men's title for the first
time after beating German club Black & White Worms 3/1. Scotland's
Alistair Gorrie clinched victory for the club after Englishmen Simon
Parke and Daryl Selby put Aberdeen into the lead.
Aberdeen made their breakthrough in the semi-finals, beating
Germany's defending champions Paderborn, five times winners of the title
since 2003.
Yorkshire club Pontefract successfully defended their
women's title by beating Austrian club Squash All Stars Wien Energie
2/1. Yorkshire-based Dutch star Vanessa Atkinson and Pontefract-born
Lauren Siddall led the team for the second year - and both were victorious
as Pontefract clinched the crown for the fourth time in seven years.
