Oxford & Surrey Health Head PSL Tables
Contrasting victories by Esporta Oxford and Surrey
Health & Racquets in Tuesday's sixth round see the clubs
return to the top of the Group tables at the beginning of
the second half of the season of the world's most
prestigious squash league.
In Group A, Esporta Oxford visited Newport,
and came away with a 4/1 away win over the league newcomers
from Wales. Irish international Madeline Perry
started off the visitors' winning run with a straight games
victory over Welsh international Stacey Preece - but
former Welsh international Greg Tippings battled to
an 11-7, 6-11, 11-8, 8-11, 11-4 victory over Oxford's
Anthony Graham to draw level.
But wins by Jaymie Haycocks, Scott Handley and
Chris Ryder saw Esporta Oxford home and back to the
top of the tables for the first time since the beginning of
the season in October.
A more dramatic encounter in Croydon saw England
international Peter Barker clinch victory for
Surrey Health & Racquets over county rivals Surrey
Storm Guildford. The left-hander from London defeated
South African Jesse Engelbrecht 11-5, 11-8, 11-9 to
clinch a 3/2 home win which takes the former champions to
the top of the Group B tables on 'ties won'.
A 3/2 home win by MB Nottingham in the East Midlands
derby against Derbyshire's Benz-Bavarian Duffield
saw the former Group A leaders drop to second place in the
tables - a single point behind Esporta Oxford.
Reigning champions LEBC Group Chapel Allerton brought
in distinguished Frenchman Thierry Lincou for his
debut this season against fellow Yorkshire club
Pontefract. The former world number one despatched the
home side's top string Harinder Pal Sandhu, from
India, in straight games - and led the Leeds club to a
maximum points 5/0 win.
But the
success only lifted Chapel Allerton to third place in the
Group A tables - seven points behind top-placed Oxford.
