RESULTS:    Bluenose Squash Classic, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

Final:
[1] Laurens Jan Anjema (NED) bt [4] Borja Golan (ESP)     8-11, 11-10 (2-0), 11-5, 4-11, 11-10 (3-1) (108m)

In what was, fittingly, the longest and most dramatic match of the tournament, top seed Laurens Jan Anjema edged out fourth seed Borja Golan in a five-game marathon final of the Bluenose Classic to win the $30,000 PSA Tour squash event in its third year at St Mary’s University Tower in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Spaniard Golan, 25, from Santiago DC, took the opening game - then lost out in the second after a tie-break.

After two further games of contrasting scorelines, Anjema missed out on two match balls in the decider before finally clinching his 8-11, 11-10 (2-0), 11-5, 4-11, 11-10 (3-1) title victory in 108 minutes.

It was the first final in three years that did not feature local interest - and new champion Anjema, the 25-year-old world No19 from The Hague, was celebrating the seventh PSA Tour title of his career.
