HEAD Continue to Support British Circuit

The British Squash Professionals Association (BSPA) have announced that premium rackets brand HEAD have confirmed their continued sponsorship of the HEAD UK Grand Prix.

Since its inception 13 years ago, the BSPA circuit has grown in stature, and now boasts eight events across the UK culminating in the Head UK Grand Prix Finals.

The BSPA's tour director Tim Garner was understandably pleased that Head have seen the benefits of being associated with the British circuit: "Our circuit has become the bedrock of tournament squash in the country, and it is the involvement of HEAD that enables us to deliver a product that is appealing to both players and clubs.

"Last year over 100 players competed in our events with the Colets Open playing host to nearly as many players as the British Nationals!"

Garner went on to highlight that the circuit allows the young players to cut their teeth in a highly competitive environment, without the expense of overseas travel, while the more established players are able to pick out some substantial prize money when breaks in the PSA tour allow it.

Andy Catchpole of HEAD UK was equally upbeat about their involvement: "The circuit has enabled us to have some brand recognition through the profile of the circuit but also allows us to get into some of the country's most active clubs. We have been impressed by the standard of play and also by the commitment and professionalism of the BSPA's players and look forward to another successful season."

The HEAD UK Grand Prix will begin with its traditional opener in Boston, Lincolnshire, in December and culminate in the HEAD Grand Prix Finals in Ipswich.
