DORSET'S Martin Greenslade preserved his five-year unbeaten run in the over-40s Home Countries Championship as England stormed to victory again.

Greenslade, playing at three, quickly disposed of challengers from Wales and Ireland without dropping a game in Dublin.

He was then promoted to lead the team against Scotland and again put in a superlative performance to win the tie and take his team to another 5-0 victory.

The outing was Greenslade's fifth appearance in the competition, three times at over-35 level and his second at over-40.

The talismanic Poole star, who runs the South Dorset Squash Club, has yet to be beaten by his Celtic rivals and has never been on a losing England side.

The Bournemouth Squash leagues at Littledown and Suncliff are looking for new players. The leagues have been running for seven years and already have more than 60. Players of all standards are welcome to join.

Steve Preston has collected his second racketball England title this season.

After grabbing the over-45s title in Basildon last September, the South Dorset player impressively secured the silverware in the national finals in Cambridgeshire.

Preston and training partner Peter Pietruszka (David Lloyd, Bournemouth) battled their way to the final of the over-50s Southern Regional Championship in Totton where Preston triumphed.

In the national finals, both came safely through preliminary rounds unbeaten to face each other again in the final. But Pietruszka was once again unable to match his opponent and Preston took the spoils.
