Kenny Wins Again At Wheatbelt Open
Ireland's top seed Liam Kenny struck PSA Tour gold for the second time in a
week when he beat Australia's No2 seed Cameron White in the final of the Be
Active Wheatbelt Squash Open in Perth, Australia, to avenge his loss to White in
the 2000 final.
Kenny is enjoying a triumphant return to the Western Australian capital where
he was born: The 25-year-old won the Magic Sports International title in
Perth last week - again without conceding a game throughout the tournament.
The Nottingham-based Irishman dropped just seven points in a straightforward
semi-final victory over New Zealand qualifier Callum O'Brien before beating
White 15-13 15-10 15-7 in the final. It was Kenny's sixth PSA title in his
eighth final appearance.
The match also marked Cameron White's eighth PSA final. The 26-year-old from
Belmont in Victoria had good reason to celebrate this achievement: A week
ago in the Magic Sports event, where he was also the second seed, he was knocked
out in the first round by qualifying compatriot Tim Manning.
