Recently crowned World No1 Lee Beachill will head a star-studded field in the inaugural 2004 Gerrard Super 8 Grand Prix Squash Championships to be staged at the National Squash Centre in Manchester, England from the 22nd to 25th October 2004.

The pioneering new squash championships boasts an impressive eight-man player line-up, including Peter Nicol of England, Australia's David Palmer, Scotland's John White and Thierry Lincou of France, all of whom have attained the World No1 ranking in the past 18-months, World No5 Karim Darwish, World No12 James Willstrop, and local Manchester favourite and England International Nick Taylor.

"Winning the US Open last month and being ranked No1 in the World was a dream come true and I am desperate to continue my winning streak at the Gerrard Super 8 Grand Prix in Manchester later this week," said the World No1 on his Official Website www.LeeBeachill.com.

"I have tried to keep things into perspective over the past couple of weeks, and after a short rest following the US Open, I feel ready for the next series of tournaments. The Gerrard Super 8 Grand Prix is a great addition to the domestic squash calendar and I can't wait to get started. The facilities in Manchester are second to none and it will be a great feeling to play in front of a home crowd and be announced on court as World No1."
