British Open 2005 As the opening day of first round action in the 2005 Dunlop British Open Squash Championships neared its conclusion at the National Squash Centre in Manchester, a power cut caused by a fire in the building's plant room resulted in play being abandoned for the day with three matches unresolved.

British Open Squash to London in 2005 The British Open will follow a series of historic other sporting Championships that have been staged in our Halls during the past century and, in particular, the Badminton Association's 'All England Championships' held for 30 years from 1910-1940 and the very first World Snooker Championship held with us in 1946. Though it will be a big prestige boost for the British Open to move back to London, and an obvious benefit in terms of potential sponsorships, it is unfortunate for the Nottingham boosters who gave every possible support and publicity to the event that was held in that city for two years. After periods in Birmingham, Aberdeen and Manchester, the British Open was held at the Albert Hall in Nottingham in 2003 and 2004. www.squashtalk.com /html/news/mar05/news05-3-124.htm

Squash NZ - New Zealand Squash History - Changing Direction - The Ninties Susan also won her eighth British Open and her tenth successive national title that year, bowing out on the highest possible note after returning from what had been, by her standards, a relatively quiet 1991 year. Televised Squash had become ‘if not the norm' certainly regular in the country during the heady years of the eighties and early nineties and this reached a peak during 1990 when Susan Devoy's world championship victory that year in Sydney was watched live, during primetime, by 800,000 Kiwis. What would probably rank as the best ever women's team performance came at the 1992 Championships when Susan Devoy, Donna Newton, Philippa Beams and Marie Pearson stole the show by upsetting the highly-fancied English team in the semi finals, only to go down in a hard-fought final against Australia. www.nzsquash.co.nz /history/nz-the-ninties.asp?month=6&year=2005   (2204 words)
