Vaman Apte
supreme Vaman Apte survived a close first round tussle before he, more or less, cruised to clinch the Body Scape Corporate Squash Cup at the Resort Hotel’s airconditioned court at Madh Island on Sunday. An executive director of Apte Amangamation, ran into young Sanjay Goyal of Juhu Centaur and just about managed to scrape through with a 21-18 outcome. Then onwards, Apte, who also heads the state squash body and is a regular on the competitive circuit, did not encounter much opposition before he thrashed Winmark Trading’s Ashish Gupta in the final 21-8. It was generally being felt that the final could have been a much closer affair had Gupta not played his previous two rounds in quick succession before the final against Apte. This exclusive event, restricted only to chairmen, presidents, chief execs, and managing directors of any company in Mumbai, attracted 40 entries.
