Delasaux Delights In Saskatoon Success

England's Laurence Delasaux marked the latest chapter in his return to the PSA Squash Tour after more than two years away by winning the $10,000 Saskatoon Boast Open at the YMCA of Saskatoon in Saskatoon in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.

After reaching 77 in the PSA rankings in 2006, the 24-year-old from Hull decided to pursue other interests. But his love of Squash returned this year - and he rejoined PSA.

By beating fifth seed Robin Clarke in the Saskatoon Open semi-finals - his third successive win against the Canadian over the past two months - Delasaux reached his fifth PSA Tour event final as a qualifier since June.

The English underdog, ranked 149 in the world, now faced top seed Aaron Frankcomb - but again was too strong for the world No38 from Australia as he coasted to an 11-7, 11-3, 11-5 victory in 42 minutes.

The success marks Delasaux's second Tour title success since his comeback - and the fourth of his career.

It also - surely - signals another rankings rise for the Yorkshireman who started his comeback at 371 in the PSA list and leapt more than 100 places to his current position in November.

Final:
[Q] Laurence Delasaux (ENG) bt [1] Aaron Frankcomb (AUS) 11-7, 11-3, 11-5 (42m)
