Lwamba Downs Temwa In All-Chileshe Final

Panmure Open
The final of the Barfoot & Thompson Panmure Open was a family
affair, with the Chileshe brothers coming head-to-head. It was older
brother Lwamba that took the victory, beating younger brother Temwa in
straight games in the final.
Chileshe started his week at Panmure Squash Club with a confident
straight games victory over Australia’s Damon Macmillan, before then
defeating fellow New Zealander, and the tournament’s No.6 seed, Anthony
Lepper, also in a three-game contest.
The World No.104 then took on Malaysia’s No.4 seed Duncan Lee in the
semi-finals, and once again, he was able to come through unscathed,
winning in straight games to advance to the final in Auckland.
Coming into the final, the elder of the two siblings had the 3-2
advantage of his younger brother, including winning in two finals last
year, the Northland Open and the Morrinsville Open, but Temwa had won
their last meeting, which came at the Val de Reuil Normandie earlier
this year.
The final of the Barfoot & Thompson Panmure Open went the way of the
elder brother, with Lwamba winning in straight games to come through the
Challenger 3 level tournament without dropping a game, claiming his
third title on Tour following those two victories last year. |
