Makin makes Fallows work for British Under-23 title as Kennedy powers home
By Squash Mad Reporter
England’s Richie Fallows and Georgina Kennedy won the finals of the JW Cannon British Under-23 Open at Roehampton Club in London.
Fallows beat Joele Makin of Wales, fighting back to win after surrendering the opening game.
Kennedy continued her run of winning each match in straight games and looked a very convincing winner, although had Ellie got her drops or trickle boasts working in the second game we could have had a longer match.
Fallows and Makin delighted the crowd with some superb squash and a willingness to play the ball the majority of the time. The quality of Fallows’ winners just edged the match but both players deserve credit for their physical effort and for providing great entertainment.
