25/07/2010 - Remuera and North Shore have taken out the titles at the National Club Team Champs in Napier |
Remuera and North Shore have been crowned champions at the 2010 National Club Team Championships in Napier.
Remuera has taken out the men's Cousins Shield competition, beating defending champions Squash Gym Palmerston North 3-1 in the title decider.
Phil Buscke got Remuera off to a winning start with a 3-0 win over Kent Darlington in the opening match, but it was soon one-all with Ant McLeod bouncing back from a game down to beat Matt Anderson 3-1.
Former world number 36 Kashif Shuja reinstated Remuera's lead with a 3-1 win over Josh Greenfield, leaving Mike McSherry having to beat Alex Grayson to keep Palmerston North's title hopes alive. However, Grayson proved too good for the veteran McSherry, winning 3-0 to secure victory for his side.
The women's Mitchell Cup was an even tighter affair, with North Shore winning the title on a count back against Mitchell Park.
Lisa Cowlard won the opening match against Mikayla Kerr 3-0 to give North Shore the early lead, and Mandy Kennedy made it 2-0 with a 3-1 victory over Nicky Durling.
Tamsyn Leevey then pulled one back for Mitchell Park with a 3-0 victory over Rachel McLeod, leaving Rebecca Barnett needing to beat Trina Moore for any chance of victory. Barnett obliged, but her 3-2 win was not enough to prevent North Shore taking the title 8 games to 7 on a count back.
