World Champions boost Duffield bid

Former champions Benz-Bavarian Duffield will make PSL history in Tuesday’s semi-finals by fielding two world champions in their bid to reach the final of the of the world’s most prestigious squash league, supported by Dunlop, for the second year in a row and the seventh time since 1995.

The Derbyshire club, PSL champions in 1998, 2006 and 2007, host Exeter Diamonds – and will be led by men’s world squash champion Nick Matthew, the world No2 from Sheffield, and newly-crowned women’s world champion Laura Massaro, the world No2 from Preston.

Matthew faces the Devon club’s number one Omar Mosaad, the world No13 from Egypt, while Massaro lines up against England’s reigning European Junior Champion Victoria Temple Murray.

Matthew is celebrating his 11th successive season for Duffield – and victory in the semi-finals would mark a league record 40th win in a row.

Duffield’s South African number one Stephen Coppinger, fresh from title victory in the PSA International 25 Northern Ontario Championship in Canada at the weekend, will take on 15-time Finnish champion Olli Tuominen, while Joel Hindsand Joey Barrington mark the third string line-up, and PSL stalwarts Andy Whipp and Tim Vail (making their 9th and 11th appearances this season for Duffield and Exeter, respectively) face each other in the fourth string clash.

“We’re really pleased to make the semi-finals again, and more so, proud to have two current World Champions playing,” said Duffield team manager Felix Frixou. “It’s a big day for us at Duffield Squash Club. We look forward to a good night!”
