Alison Waters – Squash Professional

Last weekend I got to the semi-finals of the British open losing out to Nicol David 3-0. She played too well on the day and there isn’t much you can do when your opponent is playing like that. I can only think that next time I will do better and I will train hard to do this.

It was a great week in hull and the first time we have played on a football pitch so it was a different experience for everyone but a good one. Congratulations to Laura Massaro on winning, a great achievement.
 
I’m off to Glasgow for the weekend as we have a practice doubles competition in preparation for the commonwealth games next year. This will be a great chance for all of us to try out the new 13inch tin and to gain valuable experience at playing at the actual venue for where the CWG will be held.

Then it’s back home and its summer holidays. I’m off to Los Angeles and Las Vegas for 12 days and I can’t wait!!! Some much needed sun and maybe this could be the making of  ‘The Hangover 4’. Let the fun begin!!!

Heading off to the European Championships today in Amsterdam today.

We are number one seeds in both the Men’s and Women’s events. I’m really looking forward to the week ahead as I love the team events and playing for England. We start in a pool group of 4 teams with two matches on Wednesday and one Thursday. Our women’s team is Laura Massaro, me, Jenny Duncalf and a debut for Sarah Jane Perry. Looking forward to the initiation!!!!
 
It should be a great week and hopefully we can bring both the titles home.

I am at Southgate Squash Club (North London) today donating some old kit for ‘Kit Aid’.

Please donate any old kit to your local club so that it can be forwarded onto
those in developing countries and to give them a chance to start playing squash.
