Former World #2 Peter Marshall Lifts Ernst & Young Into Canary Wharf Corporate Semis
by James Fattal
March 9, 2012 - City financial firm Ernst & Young will once again look to the experience of former World Squash No.2, Peter Marshall, as they look to book their place in the final of the Canary Wharf & Square Mile Corporate Challenge.
The Corporate Challenge has grown in size and prestige since it was introduced eight years ago as a side event to the Canary Squash Classic, the ever-popular international showpiece in London featuring many of the world’s leading professional squash players.
Over 60 city workers representing companies from a range of industry sectors have been battling it out for the a place in the final, which takes place on the spectacular glass show court, during the week of the PSA World Tour event, March 19-23.
Ernst & Young will now face the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in the Semi-Final round, joining Credit Suisse and accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers to make up the final four in the competition with the Grand Final to place on Friday, March 23.
The Canary Wharf Squash Classic will be staged at the unique glass East Wintergarden venue and will feature 16 players including the three Britons currently in the world’s top 10. All eyes will be on James Willstrop, who recently reclaimed the World No. 1 spot from his national rival Nick Matthew. The draw is set up for a domestic showdown between the two, with Willstrop still looking to claim his first ever victory over his closest rival.
The qualifying competition takes place at Wimbledon Racquets and Fitness Club on March 17-18 with four winners joining the top 12 seeds in the main draw.
