Waters wins in Matamata  

Disappointment for New Zealand squash star Joelle King.

The world number 13 has fallen just short of adding another WSA World Tour title to her resume, beaten in a five game thriller by England's Alison Waters in the final of the Matamata Open.

King twice fought back from a game down to be level at 2-all at one stage, with the fifth game decider promising to be a nail biter.  Cheered on by a parochial Waikato crowd, King pushed Waters all the way, but the former world number three weathered the storm to grind out an 11-5, 8-11, 15-13, 7-11, 13-11 in a grueling 83 minute encounter.

It is the fifth WSA title Waters has claimed since returning to the court earlier this year after recovering from a serious knee injury.
