To David Palmer and Rachael Grinham ... once again thank you for so many wonderful memories over 20 years at the CG. David Palmer has now won 3 Gold, 2 Silver and 4 Bronze Medals from 6 Games (in actual fact it is 9 medals from 5 Games because he didn’t win a medal at his first Games appearance). I’m proud to say I was in the audience to witness your 9th medal ... GOLD! Rachael Grinham has now won 2G, 2S and 4B from 5 Games. Another fantastic record of achievement. Winning medals at the Commonwealth Games is a wonderful achievement but as 41 year olds ... well that is simply incredible! Both players may have lost a little speed but their shots and tactics are still awesome Congratulations & thank you Refs! Steve Walton put it best “I thought they did a sensational job because the pressure is immense. The amount of information that they have to manage now is quite extreme particularly when you are the main ref in centre court and you have ear pieces, iPads, 2 competitive players and you are seated right amongst the spectators that groan every time a decision goes against their player. The refs are also competing to referee in the big matches and they have their own behind the scenes challenges to manage also.” ASP squashmedia .com.au to watch.

Matt Hopkin 2016 The Australian Squash Player Annual has been created and compiled by Kim Schramm for Squash Media. 2016 was a year to celebrate. Whilst our athletes didn’t win World Championships they performed well on the PSA World Tour. They collectively won 18 PSA Titles (compared to 13 in 2015 and 17 in 2014). One performance that stood out as being absolutely superb wasn’t a winning one. It was that of Cameron Pilley reaching the final of the PSA World Series. Just getting into the draw is tough enough! One has to perform consistently over 7 World Series events: US Open, Qatar Classic, Hong Kong Open, Tournament of Champions, Windy City Open, British Open and the El Gouna International. Players are awarded points based on their result at each World Series event: Winner 100 points, Runner Up 65, Semi Finalist 40, Quarter Finalist 25, 2nd Round 15 and 1st Round 10. The Top 8 qualifiers were Mohamed El Shorbagy 640 points, Greg Gaultier 335, Nick Matthew 225, Omar Mosaad 220, Miguel Ángel Rodríguez 175, Simon Rosner 155, Mathieu Castagnet 150 and Cameron Pilley 130. Pilley hit a “purple patch of form” and reached the final. Despite losing the final to Greg Gaultier, Pilley was at his absolute best beating World #1 Mohamed El Shorbagy in the semi final.
