MUMBAI: Sanjay
Goyal led from the front, winning the deciding ninth tie 3-0 against
Ravindra Jagtap to whom he had lost earlier in the league to give
Team Ashour
(named after the world champ) a 5-4 win over Team Lincou and with it
the Bombay Gymkhana-SRAM squash league title.
The teams, which played over two months, were named after the
current greats. The winners took home Rs 60,000. Jagtap is the
father of British Junior champ Aditya, now training in Egypt with
Mahesh Manganokar. His agility would have shamed half his 50-plus
age. |
Goyal gave credit to
Siddharth Samantray and Aishwarya Kulkarni
for their consistent displays. The others to win were professional Gopi
Mohite, on his home courts, and Rohan Zaveri. Team Shabana beat Willstrop
5-4 for the third spot while Darwish finished fifth beating Gaultier.
Rajat Agarwal was adjudged player of the league. For British lady Mandy
Kennedy it was her last tournament after a three and a half year stay in
Mumbai where husband Simon was posted and where son Ben played tennis
after squash. She won several titles in Mumbai and was adjudged the best
captain in the league.
