Boswell Nets Fourth Title In Six Weeks

Australia's former world No4 Stewart Boswell netted his fourth PSA Tour title in six weeks when he lifted the men's trophy in the WA Open Squash Championships in Perth, Western Australia.

The 26-year-old from Canberra is on a comeback trail after a two-year layoff caused by a mystery back ailment.  He began his campaign in New Zealand in April - and, in his third final as a qualifier and second against fellow qualifier Laurence Delasaux, beat the Englishman 11-6 11-3 11-5 in Perth to register his 22nd successive match win!

The women's event came to a more conventional conclusion when top seed Kasey Brown, from Australia, beat third-seeded New Zealander Louise Crome 4-9 9-1 9-3 9-6.
