Parker crowned champion for the second year
Jo Parker takes her second succesive senior natiional title
Back up to full fitness and training as well as she ever has, Kelly Sibley still faces a big task to reclaim her title, having faced 5 months without even hitting a ball, whilst her sparing and doubles partner, who has always been her biggest opponent at the nationals, upped her game and worked hard on her attack. This is a hard match to call.
Attack verses defence, combined with two players that know each others games inside out, made for long rallies.
Parker appeared to be on top in a battle that in the past Sibley would normally be favoured.
Parker took the first two before gifted a few to Sibley in the third, taking advantage of this, Sibley brought it back to 2-1, a close fourth went back to Parker before cleaning up in the fifth and retaining her title.
Joanna Parker bt. Kelly Sibley 4-1 (13-11, 11-6, 9-11, 13-11, 11-5)
