Two out of Two for Bozza
Gary Denvir reports ...
Australian Stewart Boswell made it two for two in New
Zealand.
The former world number four claimed the PSA Tour's South Island
Classic in Invercargill, just a week after sweeping to victory at
the South Island
Champs in Christchurch.
And for the second week in a row, New Zealand number one Kashif
Shuja was the beaten finalist. Once again Boswell cruised
through the entire tournament without dropping a game, beating top
seeded Shuja 11/0 11/4 11/6 in the decider.
In the WISPA women's final, top seeded Australian Dianne Desira
made up for a disappointing quarterfinal exit in Chistchurch with
victory in the final against Malaysia's Tricia Chuah. Desira
took an hour to overcome the sixth seed, but finally prevailed 0/9
10/8 1/9 9/4 9/7.

Shujah gets his Boswell rematch
Gary Denvir reports ...
New Zealand number one Kashif Shuja will get his rematch
against Australian Stewart Boswell. The two players are
through to the final of the South Island Classic, in a repeat of
last week's decider at the South Island
Champs in Christchurch.
Boswell cruised into the final with two comfortable wins on day two.
The former world number four caned Egypt's Omar Mosaad 11/1 11/3
11/6 in the quarters. He then disposed of second seed Wai Hang Wong
from Hong Kong 11/4 11/8 11/5 in the semis.
Shuja also won comfortably in the quarters, thrashing Australian
Joseph Desira 11/5 11/6 11/3. But he had to work harder to beat
fellow kiwi Campbell Grayson 10/11 (0-2) 11/8 11/8 11/8 in the
semifinals.
In the women's event, top seed Dianne Desira is through to
the final after a 9/0 10/8 9/5 victory over Hong Kong's Christina
Mak. Desira will meet Malysian Tricia Chuah in the decider.
The sixth seed advanced with a 9/4 9/6 9/1 upset of New Zealand
secoond seed Louise Crome.

Boswell Carries On Winning In NZ
Gary Denvir reports ...
Australian Stewart Boswell has resumed his winning ways in
New Zealand.
Less than a week after wrapping up the
South Island Championships in Christchurch, the former world
number four cruised into thequarterfinals of the PSA Tour's South
Island Classic in Invercargill.
Bowsell proved too good for Japanese fifth seed Takehide Hota in
the opening round, winning 9/4 9/5 9/2. The 26 year old from
Canberra also had little difficulty in disposing of Malaysia's Kim
Lee Wong in the second round, marching into the last eight with a
11/4 11/2 11/4 victory.
Top seed Kashif Shuja is also into the quarters. The kiwi
number one had the benefit of a bye first up, and made short work
of his second round clash against Australian Scott Arnold, winning
11/3 11/4 11/6.
But the match of the day was an epic first round battle between
Malaysian 9th seed Nafzahizam Adnan and Scotsman Kristen
Johnson. The two players went to tie breaks in three of five
games, with Johnson eventually winning 11/6 in the fifth after 68
minutes. However, the Scot was then forced to retire injured after
one game in his second round clash against second seeded Wai Hang
Wong from Hong Kong.
In the women's WISPA World Tour event, top seeded Australian
Dianne Desira advanced with a clinical 9/2 9/3 9/2 win over
kiwi teenager Joelle King.
Second seed Louise Crome from New Zealand was also
untroubled in a 9/6 9/6 9/7 win over Australian qualifier Lisa
Gray.
However, Japanese foruth seed Mami Nishio's tournament is over,
after a 9/6 9/1 9/1 thrashing by Australia's Lisa Camilleri.
