MSRA Skills Tourney Results

MSRA Skills Tourney Results - March 4 - 7/10

4.5 Division was a hotly contested draw, Dave Guthrie played almost a flawless semi final to take out fellow Canadian Paul Gebrael 3-0 who to his credit forced Dave to play at his best. The other semi was a five game marathon between Greg Deeg and Jason Heywood. In what came down to a battle of fitness with some great extended rallies created by Greg's incredible shot making and Jason's relentless retrieving, Jason took the fifth 9-7. In the final Jason picked up where he left off in the semi winning 3-0 in a match where the game score does not reflect just how well Dave played in three very close and exciting games.

5.0 Division -Ricardo Ramos looked unbeatable in the round robin match's winning all three of his. John Kundrot did extend Ricardo to five games in their round robin match. In the Saturday match's, Andrew Caille had to win against John to advance into the final. The match see sawed back and forth with Andrew prevailing in five when John's gas tank ran dry. This set up a final between Andrew and Ricardo, Ricardo confident since he had won their round robin match 3-0. Andrew, motivated by his Saturday win over John, was looking for redemption. In a marathon of a final lasting well over an hour, a battle royal that neither player could take control of, came down to the fifth and deciding game. The score never got more than a couple of points apart eventually getting to 7-6 in Andrew's favor. There were five handouts played, ten points, before Andrew took the point to get to match ball. Couple more handouts before Ricardo gets to a point to draw to 7-8, again several more handouts before Andrew scored a point to win the fifth 9-7. This has to rank up with the best of all the MSRA finals played the last several years. Congratulations to both Ricardo and Andrew for providing such an exciting final.

The DAC Classic 2010

This year’s DAC Classic was an event to remember. Mick Joint and his staff did a fantastic job. The tournament had over 140 players from all over Ontario, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. About 25 squash players from Windsor Squash and Fitness crossed the border to participate and 7 of them went home with hardware to show off their victories.

Mark “Legal Edge” Eugeni walked over all the competition to cruise to 5.5 championships and along the way he sold a few homes. Kevin “BFF” Furmanek rebounded nicely after a tough 1st round loss to win 5.5 Consultation Championship.

Mike “The Newcomer” Twiner showed everyone that despite being from South Carolina he knows how to play squash. Twiner’s patience style of play whore down his opponents that allowed to crowned himself 5.0 Champion.

Shaun “the Kid” Guay continues to shows great promise by winning 4.5 championships. After the victory Shaun said he could not win the championship without the help of his Dad (Gerry).

A memorable moment from this weekend was watching the father son team of Stefan and Konstantin Houbtchev coach each other though their matches. Konstantin was playing in the 4.5 draw and Stefan was in the 4.0 draw. Stefan continues to show how mature he is despite a tough 1st round loss to fellow WSF player Jeff Casey to recover to win the 4.0 consultation draw. Although Konstantin enjoys Stefan’s coaching he sometimes feels that Stefan should take his own advice.
