Jonathon Power Back On Form For September UK Legends
by Tim Garner

August 29, 2012 - Jonathon Power is fired up for a return to the 9 Telecom Legends of Squash after a disappointing tournament in 2011 when he was forced to retire on day two with an elbow injury sustained against Nick Taylor, that effectively ruined his chances of success.

Twelve months on and Power is relishing the prospect of crossing rackets with perennial rival Peter Nicol in the group stage, before setting up a grand final tilt at ‘new boy’ David Palmer. ‘It was really disappointing not to be able perform to the best of my ability last year’ commented former World Champion Power from his National Squash Academy in Toronto ‘I felt I was in good form, as proved to be the following week when I won in Aberdeen, so I am looking forward to putting the record straight this year’.

‘It is great to have David join the tour this year, in some ways it is a new challenge but in many an extension of a fiery old one as people will see if they check out some of our matches on You Tube!!’ said Power with a wry smile.

The Gold Tour event will take place from 14-17th September on the stunning Courtwall all-glass court situated in the heart of the St. Georges Hill LT & SC.

The top seeds need to also be wary of ex-World no.1 & world’s hardest hitter John White and ex-World no.3 Simon Parke. The exciting line-up of Legends is completed the world’s most capped squash player, Derek Ryan, a former world no.7 himself as two local wildcards in the form of ex-World no.11 Stephen Meads and 7-time European Club Champion Tim Garner.
