Hard fought win for Kenny as Perry takes it in her stride

Kenny was made to work very hard for his second title by reigning champion Derek Ryan, who put in an excellent performance considering he has been off the professional circuit for almost two years.

Kenny went into an early 6-2 lead in the first set as he put an enormous amount of pressure on Ryan. He dictated play well, volley dropping and volley boasting at every opportunity. Ryan dug in well and managed to claw his way back to 6-4 before two winners from Kenny gave him game ball at 8-4. Kenny eventually took the set 9-5.
