ONCE again the final of the Malvern Squash Club's Ladies' Championship was contested by the club's leading two players with already several championship wins between them.

The match proved to be another exhausting battle which went right to the wire.

The final game was a real killer with both players taking turns to dominate and both being fiercely determined.

At nine points all the service was still changing hands until finally, an exhausted Andy Wright put a shot into the tin and collapsed, giggling, at the feet of the new champion, Lorraine Wilde.
