Tournament Results

Le vendredi 1 et samedi 2 février, la 13ème édition de notre tournoi annuel a eu lieu au Hall sportif du Deich. 31 joueurs se sont battus dans 3 catégories différentes. Fait très rare pour un tel tournoi: aucun joueur a du abandonner, et ainsi, tous les match prévus ont été joués! Chapeau pour Marc Heath pour avoir continué à jouer, malgré un “cut” proche de son oeil, qui a du être soigné par notre médecin sur place! Merci Gérald!!

Dans le tableau A, Marc Radley a su prendre sa revanche pour sa défaite contre Marcel Kramer en 2011: Marc s’impose en fait en 4 jeus, et gagne ainsi le tournoi!

On Friday 3 and Saturday 4 February, 38 players competed in our annual open. The biggest draw was the C-Draw, with 16 players. Eric Mich defended his title there, and will surely play in the B-draw next year. The D-draw was convincingly won by Alexandre Bresson, winning all his games! The final of the B-draw opposed Renaud Parentelli and the Ettelbruck player Timo Mühlenthaler. Timo managed to pull out his best squash, and won 3-0! The A-draw was a round robin of 4 players, which was won by Nathan Sneyd. We were very happy to have a ladies draw, for the first time in more than 5 years! Congratulations to Patricia Ah-Kit for winning this one!

Pour la  9ème édition de notre tournoi, 28 joueurs se sont déplacés vers Ettelbruck. Ils ont joué dans 2 tableau: A/B et C/D.

Dans le tableau C/D, c’est le jeune et talentueux Mark Lindsay qui s’impose face au Ettelbruckeois Thierry Petitjean.

Dans le tableau A/B, c’est l’Arlonais Patrick Willame, qui a montré sa classe en s’imposant 3-1 contre le joueur de Pétange Guillaume Planck.

Thanks to the 27 players who played this year’s edition of our tournament. We saw some good squash, and though the games were contested, the atmosphere was friendly.

The CD draw was won by Ettelbruck player Luca Nadalini, who played too strong for Hubert Vander Schueren. The B draw was again won by a strong Renaud Parentelli, who seems to always get good results in Ettelbruck! In the A draw Danny Hutchines was very sharp, and beat Stephane Ayache in straight games.

Thanks again to everybody, and see you next season!!
