WORLD CHAMPIONS

Play for fun and fitness! ASP squashmedia .com.au

This month we are introducing some exciting changes to the Australian Squash Player (ASP) publication.

You may have noticed this is Part A of 215 the September newsletter. DAYS TO GO Instead of stockpiling all the news into one large monthly edition we will bring you a number of mini issues as soon as As at they become available. 1 September 2017

With social media these days one needs to be delivering news regularly and people tend to read shorter bursts of information as opposed to the traditional style of newsletter.

So here we go! Part A focusses on the World Doubles Championships.

A massive congratulations to and for winning the Men’s World Doubles Title! Simply awesome!

Howard Harding Reports

Australians Ryan Cuskelly & Cameron Pilley took gold in the Men's event despatching Scotland's reigning champions and top seeds Alan Clyne & Greg Lobban 11-6, 11-3 in 34 minutes.

“We've had a lot of tough matches with them," said Australian number one Pilley, renowned as the one of the hardest hitters of the ball.

“They beat us last year so it was good to turn the tables this time. There were some brutal rallies in the first, but we stuck to our game plan and it worked out, then in the second we continued to execute and they made a few errors which helped our cause.”
