Aussie Palmer wins 23rd pro squash title

Australian No.1 David Palmer has claimed his 23rd professional squash title after
beating Englishman Peter Barker to take out the Bluenose Classic in Halifax, Canada.
Palmer celebrated his first title of the year with an 11-5 11-5 11-7 demolition of
Barker.
It was the third time that Palmer and Barker had met in a North American final in
the past six months, but the first time the Australian had emerged victorious.
"I was really up for it today," Palmer said.
"I'm coming towards the end of my career so who knows how many finals I've got left,
but I just enjoy playing while I can still compete at this level."
The Boston-based Palmer has won at least one main tour title every year since 1999
and has been in the top 10 of the sport since September 2000.
He now has a two week break until the North American Open in Virginia, which starts
on February 21.
