England's Lauren Briggs and Australian Ryan Cuskelly emerged triumphant in today's (Friday) finals of the NSC Series No3 Squash Championship at the Bukit Jalil National Squash Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Cuskelly, second seed in the men's PSA Tour Super Satellite event, faced surprise opponent seventh seed Waqar Mehboob in the final.  The 17-year-old had ousted top-seeded compatriot Shahid Zaman in the quarter-finals en-route to his first appearance in a Tour final.

But the New York-based 21-year-old from New South Wales was too strong for Peshawar teenager Mehboob, winning 11-7, 11-8, 11-3 in 37 minutes to claim the third Tour title of his career – but the first outside his home country.

Top seed Briggs came through a tough quarter-final in the women's $8,000 WISPA World Tour event – recovering from two games down to beat Australia's fifth seed Lisa Camilleri.

The 29-year-old world No20 from London faced local star Sharon Wee in the final.  The Malacca-born 31-year-old – ranked five places lower – was celebrating her second successive final appearance in the NSC Series events in KL.

Wee battled for 30 minutes, but it was Briggs that prevailed, winning 11-4, 11-3, 11-8 to collect the fifth Tour title of her career in her eighth final appearance.
