Barrington Beats Richards In African Open Final
 Joey
Barrington emerged triumphant in the all-English final of the
African Open, beating Tom Richards to claim the title at the Ikoyi
Club in Lagos, Nigeria.
It was the pair's first meeting on the Tour, but the experienced
Barrington - the 28-year-old top seed from Glastonbury in Somerset -
was too strong for fourth seed Richards, beating the 22-year-old
from Walton-on-Thames in Surrey in straight games.
The success marks the sixth - and biggest - title won by Barrington,
son of the illustrious Jonah Barrington who won six British Open
titles more than three decades ago.
