Former world real tennis champion Sally Jones from Newbold Pacey and South African squash player Barbara Vintcent upset the formbook to win the second Neptune British Women’s Challenge match.

Malvern College inaugurated the event last season during the celebrations to reopen its Victorian rackets courts and in the rematch, Jones and Vintcent defeated last year’s champions, Alex Garside and Alex Kurkjian, in a thrilling battle.

Garside and Kurkjian looked well in control, cruising through the first two games in the best-of-five match 15-3, 15-0 and leading 7-3 in the third.
