Grantham Open 2004

Sun 8th Feb:
Jackman cruises to Grantham title
Top seed Cassie Jackman retained her BSPA Grantham Open title with a 3/0 over Suffolk's surprise finalist Vicky Lankester in the final.

Nerves seemed to get the better of Lankester as she faced the world number one, and she never settled into her game as Jackman cruised to a victory which sets her up for next week's National Championships.

GOUGHIE GOES FOR IT IN GRANTHAM
Alex Gough, seeded 3/4, produced a succession of stunning displays to win the BSPA Grantham Open from the strongest draw in the history of this rapidly developing series, attracted by a record £7,000 prize fund. He took out brothers Ben and Tim Garner in the first two rounds, having to work hard to beat Tim 15-8 in the fifth, then faced another marathon match in the semi-finals against local hero Mark Chaloner, the number two seed. Despite some rousing support for the Lincolnshire lad, Goughie again triumphed in the fifth, this time 15-11.

Top seed John White had been casually and stylishly picking off all the opposition in the top half of the draw, beating Liam Kenny before facing a battle of the giants against the still-growing James Willstrop in the quarter-finals. I wouldn't call Big John a soft touch (because he's a lot taller than me), but he is always likely to allow aspiring youngsters to win the odd game. Big James managed to pinch the second but White hit just enough stunning winners to reach the semi-finals against joint 3/4 seed Peter Genever, whom he beat 15-7 in the fourth. No news yet of how the final went, only the scoreline so far, but it looked a bit of a cruise for Goughie, 15-9, 15-5, 15-8.

Cassie Campion won the women's event, again from a very strong draw, beating Kent's Stephanie Brind 9-4, 9-0, 6-9, 9-3 in the final. In the semi-finals, Cassie beat Jenny Tranfield 9-4, 9-4, 9-1 while Stephanie beat Scotland's Pam Nimmo 9-4, 9-0, 4-9, 9-1.

Grantham Open returns to BSPA Circuit

The BSPA are delighted to announce the return of the Grantham Open to the British squash calendar. Joining the Prince Grand Prix in February, it promises to be the biggest tournament ever on the BSPA circuit.

The Men's event is to have a prize fund of £5000 (with the winner picking up £1000), while the Women will battle it out for £2000 (a top prize of £500). BSPA's Tim Garner commented "it is fantastic to have the Grantham Open back on after an absence of a couple of years. We are pleased to welcome them to our circuit."

Ron Moules and his team have done a fabulous job in raising a prize fund that is sure to attract a top class entry.

The tournament slips into the circuit just prior to the Nationals in Manchester and so will provide a good guide as to the form of the players as they approach one of England Squash's premier events.
