Top seeds cruise through semi-finals
PA Palmerston North The four top seeds cruised through to predictable wins in the semifinals of the national squash championships at Palmerston • North yesterday. Results were probably as predictable as Stephen Cunningham (Geyser
City) and Susan Devoy (Henderson) winning this afternoon’s finals in the Railfreight Sys-tems-sponsored tournament. However, the No. 2 seed, Glen Wilson (Mitchell Park) showed enough form and resolve in beating the surprise
semi-finalist, Rod Hayes (Christchurch), last evening to suggest. he may shake the monopoly Cunningham has had over him. In the end, however, the rising star of New Zealand squash had too much control in the air, killing many rallies with
volleys off both wings to dispose of Hayes 9-4, 9-2, 9-3. Cunningham had no such bother removing Titirangi’s N 0.3 seed, Michael McSherry, winning 9-1, 9-0, 9-6 in little more than 20 minutes. Eden Epsom’s Charmian Hayes was pleased
to even make the semifinals after her upset over Cheryl Te Kani (Geyser City) on Monday and bowed out. in quick time to the world champion, Susan Devoy, 9-1, 9-1, 9-1. Joanne Williams, the No. 2 women’s seed, will meet Devoy in this afternoon’s final
