Razik wins final at squash circuit

 
 
Local resident Shahier Razik won the finals at the Canadian Squash Circuit Grande Finales at The Club at White Oaks in Niagara-on-the-Lake on Wednesday, April 30.

Razik is Canada's number-one player and ranked 21st in the world.

But his final match didn't come easy, edging Shawn DeLierre of Montreal 2-1 (5-11, 11-4, 12-10).

The added struggle was that Razik was off for most of March with a leg injury.

"I didn't expect a close match initially but five minutes in I knew I was in for a long one. Shawn played really well," Razik said. "I wasn't really happy with how I played but every time I play a match right now I feel more and more confident. I feel the leg right now is at about 98 per cent."

The national championships continue until Sunday.
