Ruthless Kitchen wins
North Shore Open
Gary Denvir reports
A stunning victory for New Zealand's Shelley Kitchen in final of
the WISPA Tour's North Shore Open in Auckland.
The world number 13 demolished second seeded fellow kiwi Louise
Crome in the title decider, romping to a 9/2 9/2 9/1 victory
inside 20 minutes.
The win will go some way towards making amends for Kitchen's
surprise defeat to Australian Kasey Brown in the final of the
Central Open a week ago.

All-Kiwi final in Auckland
It's an all-kiwi final at the WISPA Tour's North Shore Open in
Auckland.
Top seed Shelley Kitchen will take on fellow New Zealander
Louise Crome in the title decider, after contrasting victories
in the semifinals.

over Japan's Chinatsu Matsui, while second seeded Crome edged

Wickett causes upset in Auckland
Gary Denvir reports
New Zealand's Kerry Wickett has caused a big upset in the
opening round of the WISPA World Tour's North Shore Open in
Auckland.
The 18-year-old knocked Japanese sixth seed Sachiko Shinta out
of the tournament, winning 9/4 4/9 9/5 9/4.
The victory comes less than a week after Wickett was named in
the New Zealand team for August's Junior Women's World
Championships in Hong Kong.
Teammate Joelle King is also through to the second round, after
beating Trina Moore in four games, but the other two members of
the team, Amanda Cranston and Lana Harrison have bowed out.
Cranston came up against the brick wall that is top seed Shelley
Kitchen, going down in straight games, while Harrison pushed
Japanese fourth seed Chinatsu Matsui to four.
The second round starts at 11am on Saturday(NZT).
