Creed Captures British Virgin Islands PSA Crown from Tour Media June 22, 2014
- Welshman Peter Creed fulfilled his top-billing in the 2014 British
Virgin Islands Open Squash Championship when he despatched second seed
Dane Sharp in straight games in the final of the PSA Challenger 5 event
at Tortola Sports Club in Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. The five-time Welsh champion from Caerphilly reached the final – his seventh on the PSA Tour – without dropping a game. It was the fourth for
Canadian Sharp, a 28-year-old from Toronto ranked just a single place
below Creed in the PSA World Rankings. Creed, the World
No.81, went into the match boasting a 2/0 lead over his rival in
previous Tour clashes – and duly notched up his third win after beating
Sharp 11-7, 11-5, 11-7. The triumph marks the third PSA World Tour title of Creed's career – but his first for two years.
