Preview

Leicester Realise PSL Dream
Squash Player previews the new PSL season,
which will parade a newcomer in Leicester


Leicester have been rewarded for their persistence in seeking entry to the Premier Squash League by being awarded the place left vacant by Chapel Allerton for the 2014/15 season, which gets underway in October.

They have joined Group A, the largely northern division of the 12-team competition, and will be vying with the five other sides in that section for one of the two April semi-final places.

Leicester chairman Nick Clark said: “It’s been a long time coming. From 2008 to September last year we were working on an extension to the club to build two new glass-back courts, which cost £400,000.

“We have been investigating getting into the League for several years. That was the next step. Luckily a slot became available when Chapel Allerton dropped out.

“We have put a good squad together, led by Daryl Selby, Ryan Cuskelly, Shaun le Roux and Ben Coleman, and with local players, including England junior George Parker. Tania Bailey will top the women’s line-up.”

Josh Taylor comes in as player-manager, while local brewery Everards provide the sponsorship.

Leicester’s arrival is the only change to the groups as Surrey Health & Racquets bid to retain the title they won in May.

The summer transfer market has seen significant moves, but behind every headline move there is a key issue – availability.

In addition, managers have to find the best players they can afford on their budgets and the best players they can get in each position (for a win at no.4 is as important as a win at no.1), as well as ensuring their side has strength in depth, adaptability, commitment, team spirit and that their players are eligible for the play-offs.

GROUP A
Leicester will have their work cut out in the largely northern group, which boasts a strong Duffield team and a strengthened Coolhurst presence.

Duffield – sponsored by Felix Frixou’s Benz Bavarian, former champions and 2014 finalists – retain the world champion double act of Nick Matthew and Laura Massaro, and are strengthened by the inclusion of Chris Simpson.

London club Coolhurst, the group’s honorary northerners, have impressive signings Simon Rosner, Cameron Pilley and Nicolas Mueller at their disposal, along with leading women Madeline Perry, Samantha Teran and Nicolette Fernandes. They just need to get them on court!

Birmingham, underwritten by Birmingham University, have a largely unchanged team headed by Chris Ryder, while Nottingham’s Air-IT team comprise mainly British talent, including top Scot Alan Clyne, Eddie Charlton and Lewis Walters.

With James Willstrop recovering from a hip operation and Saurav Ghosal back in India, the CTI Travel-sponsored Pontrefact team will be calling on Dutchman Laurens Jan Anjema and Aqeel Rehman to support Lee Beachill, Simon Parke (formerly of Chapel Allerton), New Zealander Ben Grindrod and South African Chris van der Salm.

GROUP B
Champions Surrey H & R will be hard to pull back in the southern group, even though they have lost Adrian Waller.

“Adrian was a great player for us for six years and we wish him well playing no.1 for Chichester,” said Surrey manager Pete Smith of the Peter Cullen-backed PCL Security team. “We have now brought in the exciting Fares Dessouki from Egypt and world junior champion Diego Elias.”

Furthermore, Surrey retain Pete Barker and Adrian Grant, their Commonwealth Games medallists.

South London neighbours St George’s Hill, sponsored by Nine Group and Luxfords, have Spain’s Borja Golan topping their bill, backed by club members Joe Lee and Tom Richards.

Waller will get a fantastic reception at Chichester, where manager Mike Philips says he will “play to packed houses at home”.

The surprise move of the summer was that of world no.3 Mohamed Elshorbagy from Bristol to Exeter Diamonds. He will be supported by fellow Egyptian Omar Mosaad and Finland’s Olli Tuominen, who stiffen the middle order.

Mohamed may well have to face his younger brother, Marwan, who will be going to the University of the West of England in Bristol. Mathieu Castagnet, the British Open quarter-finalist from France, also joins Hadrian Stiff’s Bristol outfit.

Winchester, too, are in a position to challenge for a play-off place, having hung on to world no.1 Gregory Gaultier and made some exciting signings.

“The nicks will be screaming as Karim Abdel Gawad and Mohamed Abouelghar entertain the crowd with outrageous shot-making,” promises manager Gary Hinton, who has also signed Australian Steve Finitis and Indian Mahesh Mangaonkar.

We will see. It is all very well having big names, but the knack is getting them on court. Even then anything can happen – as the 2013/14 final showed.
