Allam British Open Defers Dates To Ease Fixture Congestion from ESR Media
London, Monday 23rd January:England
Squash & Racketball (ESR) today announced that it has deferred by
one week the 2012 Allam British Open Championships at the O2
Piazza. The new dates for the British Open are 14-20 May 2012.
The move instigated by ESR, eases congestion on the international
schedule, allowing extra preparation time for world’s leading players
who are competing in both the British Open and the European Team
Championships in Germany which conclude on Sunday, 6th May.
ESR Chief Executive, Nick Rider, said, “Both the European Championships
and the Allam British Open have increased significance as major
showcases for our sport in this Olympic year. When the
opportunity arose to push back the Championships by a week, we felt it
would be beneficial to many of the leading players to schedule an
additional week for recuperation between these two important events.”
