This year’s Club
championship again attracted a full 64 draw, with new champions in each
division. The Men’s A was contested by Charles Goodwin ‘93 and Rage Gupte
‘98. Goodwin managed to take the title in one of the best finals in recent
years. Gupte took an early lead going up 2-0 and holding 2 match balls in the
third! Goodwin dug in, chasing down everything Gupte could throw at him.
After 1 hour and 40 minutes Goodwin’s grit paid off, giving him his first club
championship. The Men’s B went to third seed Ben Thompson over training
partner James Prudden 3-0. Thompson’s better length of shot caused Prudden
plenty of problems, Giving Thompson time to put away the winner. Len Levitt
reached his personal goal of being a B player; of course you have to win the
C event first! Levitt played very controlled squash to beat Peter Kofoed 3-1;
both players played a great tournament as neither was seeded! |
