Charleston Open:

The hospitality of the Charleston Squash Club was on display again in mid January for the third Charleston Open. Drawing players from up and down the East Coast, both the singles and doubles were closely contested.

Results:

BU13: Paul Qualey def. Cross Tolliver: 9,(7),7,10

 3.0: Richard Keane def. Zack Bedell (7),10,(9),6,6

30s: Karthik Cundaramoorthy def. Hunter Freeman, (7),3,6,2

4.0: Torey Broderson def. Joe Qualey, 7,6,6 40s: Damon Bourne def. Geoff Roper, 6, (7),(4),7,6 5.0: Geoff Roper def. Keith Clemens, 8,6,(7),8

50s: Joe Qualey def. Martin Daniel (7),11,(8),9,1 55s: Lali Szoke def. Bob Burton, 10,(3),7,6

6.0: A round robin too close and complicated for me to understand, but Richard tells me he won because he took more games. At any rate, J Millman d R Millman, R Millman d John Musto, John Musto d J Millman. Whatever happened, it was a nailbiter.

W3.5s: Pat Millman B doubles: Bob Burton and William Cloherty def. Louis Ragou and Paul Gingrich, 3-1

Open doubles: John Musto and Alex Decker def. Richard and Joe Millman 17/16 in the fifth.
