Worms retains European Club Championship title!

The German league Champion Black & White Worms won the final of the 2013 European Club Championships against the French contender Mulhouse Squash Club in style. After 2 hours and 7 games it was all over.

Davide Bianchetti (Worms) started well, as he beat English former World No4 Simon Parke (Mulhouse) in straight games. Afterwards, it was Nick Matthew who secured a 2:0 lead for Worms as he beat his English rival James Willstrop 11-5, 11-8, 11-5.

It was up to former 2 times World Champion David Palmer to close out the match, as he just needed one game against Mulhouse’s Mathieu Castagnet. Palmer, who has retired from the PSA Tour since November 2011, never gave the Frenchman a real chance and won the 1st game 11-6, which gave his Team Worms the 2nd ECC title after 2012.

Veteran Nicol downs Richards in PSL match!

37-year-old former World No1 and World Champion Peter Nicol (pic) presented himself in excellent form as he took on 13-years younger actual World No29 Tom Richards. In a match of the English Premier Squash League, between St George’s Hill and Surrey Health & Racquets, Richards recovered from a game down to open up a 2/1 lead over his experienced opponent. But Nicol refused to bow down – taking the 4th game and saving three match-balls from 7-10 down in the decider to win 11-8, 3-11, 5-11, 11-9, 13-11 in 64 minutes. But Nicol’s victory did not help his Surrey club to avoid the 3-2 defeat against St George’s Hill.
