Steve Emmins made it his squash title again for the 6th year consecutively. His usual finalist did not however qualify & he did instead beat young frenchmen Nick Begu making his first appearance in the tournament. Indeed Nick has pledged to make his first appearance on the cricket field too as & when required.
Meanwhile, it was a closer final than in recent years & Nick was even 1 game up before experience won out over youth & Steve came back impressively after Nick has pulled the match all square.
