Finals

Men’s OpenDeclan James bt Charles Sharpes
Declan James took the Roehampton London BSPA U23 Open with a hard fought victory over Charles Sharpes at the Roehampton Club.
Charles in his third London U23 Open final and reigning champion was looking to end on a high before moving out of the U23 category and he started quickly. The first was a close battle with players exchanging points to 9/9 before Charles took the game 13/11. Charles racing to a 8/2 lead in the second with superb attacking play seemed to have the match under control and soon led 2-0 taking the game 11/4. Declan lead the third 5/3 & 8/6 but some errors gave a string of points to Charles to lead 10/8 and 2 Championship balls. A no let gave Declan hope and at 10/9 Charles lost a little focus giving Declan hope, which he took winning 13/11. The 4th was a different story, Declan looking focused and using his short kill shots to good effect, reeling off four points in a row to go 6/2 up, and some unforced errors from Charles gave Declan the game 11/3 and hope to take the title. Into the 5th and both pushed early to find an advantage, Charles seeming more confident once more hitting some wonderful winners to go 6/5 up, but Declan stayed patient and his excellent retrieving mixed with a ‘no let’ to Charles saw him take a 10/7 lead. Charles hit two wonderful winners to get back to 9/10 but it was not to be as Declan closed out the game and match 11/9 taking the title.

Declan appropriately thanked those involved in the event at the Roehampton Club and looked forward to returning next year to defend the title.
Declan James beat Charles Sharpes 3-2 (11/13, 4/11, 13/11, 11/3, 11/9) 74min

Women’s OpenGeorgina Kennedy bt Alison Thomson

The opening game saw Ali get off to a good start but from 0/3 Georgina settled and use her precise hitting to dominate from the front of the court Georgina took the game 11/7.
The 2nd seemed to be a repeat of the 1st game as Ali led 3/1 but Georgina was now moving well, hitting good length and using her drop at the right time to take control to go 7/5 up. The excellent play continued and Georgina stayed in control to take the 2nd game 11/6. The 3rd proved to be one-sided as Ali could not find a way into the game, Georgina was relentless in her determination to retrieve every ball and move Ali around the court and Georgina closed out the game and match deservedly 11/5.

Georgina Kennedy beat Alison Thomson 3-0 (11/7, 11/6, 11/5 (24min)
