DAY 11 – Wednesday 20th August

Ireland 0 V India 2

Ireland played India and put up a good fight but lost 2-0.
Michael Craig started superbly taking first game 11-6 but the effects of the tournament started to show( 13 matches so far ) and he lost the next 3 games reasonably quickly.
Next on was Oisin Logan. This was a very tight match with Oisin honestly not getting just reward for his efforts. Two game balls in the first at 10-8 eventually losing 13-11. Tight second but lost 11-9 and again 4 game balls in the third but nothing to show for it losing 15-13. Great effort but just a little luck was also needed. India did not want to play the third match as it was a dead rubber. 
Today we play Finland in our last match to decide 7 th position. Match is at 1pm. Lots of luck needed !

Both Michael Craig and David Ryan lost in straight games. Ireland now go on to the 5-8 place play offs vs. 4th seeds India on Wednesday @ 6pm Irish time..

Ireland bt France 2-0

Oisin Logan had a tough 5 setter on Monday evening. At game ball to Oisin in the 5th he got struck and needed stitches. So the match was postponed til Tuesday morning. Oisin only needed one rally to gain the first win. After Oisin’s win 11-8 in fifth , Michael bt August Daccord 11-7 in the fifth. Really super display by Michael and although playing a little bit in patches ( lost 4th game 11-4 ) he played really patient squash in fifth to win reasonably comfortably.
We play Egypt ( no. 1 seeds ) at 6pm again on centre court in quarter finals.
Match will be streamed live.

DAY 8 – Sunday 17th August

 

MalaysiaMAS[MAS] – IRL[IRL] Ireland: 2-1

Time: Sun 8/17/2014 5:00 PM
Draw: Team Championships – Group E
Score: 2-1

 Ireland v Malaysia 1-2.
Michael Craig was first on and started slowly going 2-0 down. Both games were reasonably tight but every poor length Michael was punished clinically. In the third Michael’s length and discipline improved dramatically and it was his opponent who started to get frustrated and make errors. Michael took the third game 11-6. Fourth game was a real classic with both players playing superb squash with Michael eventually getting to 10-7 up and his opponent fighting back saving two game balls. At 10-9 Michael went return of serve at nick and hit an absolute roller ! What a way to clinch game ball ! Fifth game followed suit and Michael maintained quality length combined with disciplined short game eventually winning 11-9. Super win for Michael and great start for team.
Next on was Oisin Logan. Oisin started well with positive hitting and forced errors from a nervous opponent and gained game ball at 10-8 but failed to capitalise on them losing 12-10. Huge confidence boost for Malaysian who started to move the ball around the court with greater efficiency and control and put Oisin under huge pressure and took the second and third games quickly.
Deciding match , David Ryan started reasonably well and took an early lead 5-1 but his opponent started to fight back and with some super winning shots took the first game narrowly 12-10. David pushed the pace up in the second game hitting harder length but also stepping in to volley short much quicker. David took second game 11-6. In the third and fourth David was unable to maintain his accuracy , largely due to much tighter play from his opponent and some super defensive play. Mistakes crept in and David lost 11-6,11-5.

Madeline Perry, one of a handful of players celebrating a fifth successive appearance in the Games, takes Northern Ireland interest into the quarters for the third time in a row after an 11-4, 10-12, 11-8, 11-5 win over Australian Kasey Brown.

“Delhi was stressful for me – so it’s all about enjoying it this time,” said the 37-year-old world No11 from Belfast. “I’ve always struggled with Kasey – she’s beaten me a good few times. But today I felt I was in control of most of the rallies.

“I tore my adductor a few months ago which knocked me back a bit – and it’s only the last month or so that I’ve felt normal!

“Retirement? I think I said it after the last three Commonwealth Games – and I’m still here. But I think this will definitely be my last Games!”

King claimed her anticipated semi-final slot after beating Northern Ireland veteran Madeline Perry, the 37-year-old No7 seed, 11-6, 11-4, 11-6.

“I thought it was a really complete performance,” said King. “I let it slip a little bit yesterday in terms of concentration and I was really happy that that only happened for maybe two points at the start of the third.

“Madeline was tenacious and fought back and I’m just really glad I was able to hold my concentration, hold on to what I was trying to do and finish it in three.

“She’s a very tough competitor, she’s been on the tour a long time and won major events so she’s no mug and I’m just really happy.”

On her meeting with David, the Kiwi said: “I’m just feeling really good out there. Whoever I play, I’ve just got to concentrate on what I’m trying to do.

“When I focus on that, and play how I want to play, I think I can beat anyone.

“I just want to come back tomorrow and do the same thing I’ve done today!”

Perry, who boasted a 5-2 head-to-head lead over King before the match, admitted: “I really struggled with the court today. Joelle was playing really well and I never got to do what I wanted to do.

“I thought I had a good chance but I couldn’t find any rhythm today.”

Perry was being coached by her doubles partner Michael Craig, aged just 18: “I was really listening to him: what he told me made a lot of sense. It’ll probably be different in the doubles where I’ll tell him what to do!”

In the other matches in the first round –

Eighth seed Ong Beng Hee, the former world No7 from Malaysia making a record-equalling fifth successive appearance in the Commonwealth Games, bowed out in the opening round of the Glasgow 2014 Games today after losing in four games to unranked Zambian Kelvin Ndhlovu.

Suffering with flu and a shadow of his usual self, Beng Hee did his best to withstand the determined attack of South Africa-based Ndhlovu in the last 64 round at Scotstoun Sports Campus in Glasgow. But the unheralded 28-year-old held his nerve to produce the upset of the round, winning 11-7, 11-2, 9-11, 11-5 in 35 minutes.

“I’ve been struggling with a knee problem for a few weeks and then a few days ago was struck down with a fever and just haven’t been able to practise – in fact today’s the first time I’ve been to the venue,” explained a distraught Beng Hee afterwards. “But well done to Kelvin – I’ve never seen him play before but he deserved the win.

“I’m very sad – you look forward to something like this every four years and not to be able prepare and then perform is very disappointing. But at least I have the Asian Games still to go this year. At least I can now prepare for that.

“But I’ve still got the doubles here – though I’ve never played men’s doubles before,” added the 34-year-old, a silver and bronze medallist in the mixed doubles.

Ndhlovu was delighted with his breakthrough success: “I’m really happy about that – it was a big win, the biggest of my career and I’m very proud.

“I had some good wins last week in South Africa, where I am based, which was good preparation,” added the Gauteng-based Zambian. “I lost easily in my first appearance in the Games four years ago – but I came into this with a different mind-set – I was much more motivated.

“But I was really nervous when I walked in. I then got too tense when I was ahead in the third game, and he came back strongly to take the game. I really didn’t expect to win – I have got no idea who I’m playing next!”

Three-time world champion Nick Matthew, who only hours earlier had led Team England into the Opening Ceremony as his country’s flag-bearer, successfully began the defence of his gold medal with an 11-3, 11-3, 11-1 win over Xavier Koenig of Mauritius.

“He had a good array of shots – and that’s what I wanted, to get rid of the cobwebs,” said 33-year-old Matthew, the world No2.

“After last night’s massive high, I got to bed around midnight and was up at eight o’clock.”

The opening match on the venue’s spectacular showcourt was watched by an exuberant near capacity crowd surrounding the all-glass court.

“It was just good to come out to such an amazing response – it’s more like a finals crowd than a first round! I’ve had a long career and played in some amazing venues, but never experienced a first round crowd like that.”

The Yorkshireman was also celebrating his 100th cap for England. “To be honest, I was originally a bit disappointed when I knew my last England match – when I beat world number one Greg Gaultier in the European Championship final – was my 99th cap, as it was such a big game.

“I expected this to be relatively low-key – but it was far from it!

“I’m feeling good being back on court after the knee surgery. My back-up team, with England physio Jade here with me, are looking after me well.”

Games debutant Koenig, playing on the biggest stage of his life, was pleased with his performance: “I wanted to get a least two points – I had to try everything. He was very kind to me – but I was so relieved to get that first point! I studied in Perth, Australia, for six years so that’s where my squash improved.”

The sensational crowd became even more vocal when local hero Alan Clyne, the Scottish number one ranked 35 in the world, despatched his first opponent Kevin Hannaway, from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, 11-1, 11-2, 11-2.

“The crowd reaction was pretty incredible – I didn’t expect it to be like this!” said the ninth seed from Edinburgh. “When I first came out, I had goose-bumps. But I could see from the warm-up that he was a good player.

“I’ve never played in front of a home crowd like this – in fact the first time was only a month ago when I played a small Tour event in Inverness – but it was nothing like on this scale! I wanted to play good squash today and I think I did that.”

Second seed James Willstrop, the world No6 expected to meet Matthew in the second successive all-English men’s final, also had a straightforward opening round win on the all-glass court, seeing off Bermuda’s Nicholas Kyme 11-4, 11-3, 11-4.

“The atmosphere here was unbelievable – a lot of big finals wouldn’t get this,” said the former world number one from Harrogate later. “It’s great for the game and it’s wonderful to be involved – I’m trying to soak up every minute.

“The Commonwealth Games? It doesn’t come any better than this – it’s quite exceptional what Glasgow has been doing.”

Like all the men’s last 64 round winners, Willstrop will go on to play a further match today to qualify for Thursday’s fourth round.

“It’s long time since I’ve played two matches in day – back in the days of the Under-12s – it’s quite rare!”

Games debutant Alister Walker celebrated the first ever Botswana win in the Commonwealth Games when he beat Sri Lanka’s Dilshan Gunawardena 11-5, 11-4, 11-2. US-based Walker, the sixth seed who switched nationality from England to the country of his birth three years ago, will now face Cameron Stafford, of the Cayman Islands, for a place in the last 16.

Nicol David Heads Unchanged World Top 20

1 July 2014

Malaysia’s Squash Queen Nicol David is within touching distance of her 100th month at the top of the Women’s World Squash Rankings after establishing her 96th month in a row – and her 99th of all-time – in the July list published today by the Women’s Squash Association (WSA).

The 30-year-old from Penang, who first reached No1 in January 2006, maintains a healthy lead of more than 1,000 points ahead of England’s Laura Massaro, the reigning World Champion who is celebrating her 16th successive month as the world No2.

Egypt’s Raneem El Welily is in third place while New Zealander Joelle King is at No4.

The highest ranking to change in the new list is No40 – the new incumbent being Egypt’s Habiba Mohamed Ahmed Alymohmed, the 15-year-old from Alexandria who in November became the youngest ever WSA World Tour title winner (at 14 years and 5 months) and last month won her third successive Tour final at the inaugural Paderborn Open in Germany.
