Dear FREE LIVE Squash Fan
We are delighted to bring you LIVE and FREE coverage of the most prestigious National Championships in the World with the British National Championships 2010.
We don’t believe that you should pay to watch squash live, so log on and catch some of the best players in the World go head-to-head at the National Squash Centre in Manchester whenever you wish on the official National Championships website or at our own site at www.LiveSquash.tv
With all operations run by our efficient and expert staff onsite, you'll get the usual high quality production without having to pay the costs of having several people on site as we continue to improve our efficient productions for you across many areas.
Adrian and Mike will be in Manchester with the best squash analysis and commentary around and there will be the usual live chat room for you to talk with other squash fans about the World as it happens.
You only have to watch previous years’ coverage on psalive.tv (there are no replays available for the 2009 event) to see how competitive this event is and with some English talent rising through the rankings in recent months on the PSA World Rankings, we should have some truly superb World Class Quarter-Finals onwards. England’s Nick Matthew is now World Ranked #2 and will be looking to renew his rivalry with James Willstrop which saw a tightly contested and controversial British Open Final last year.
The women’s event also promises some sparks with Jenny Duncalf (World Ranked #3), who is fresh from 2 consecutive wins over Nicol David, seeded to face Alison Waters in the final.
We will be covering all early round matches from an outside court (From Tuesday 9th February at Midday) and then all the main court action from Thursday 11th February through to the Championship Finals on Sunday night.
As usual, Replays will be available on www.livesquash.tv of every single match that we produce and replays will be l
oaded of all matches overnight so that they are available for your enjoyment immediately.

Nick Matthew & Jenny Duncalf Seeded To Retain British National Titles
A Yorkshire double is predicted in next month's British National Squash Championships in Manchester where Nick Matthew, the world No2 from Sheffield, and Jenny Duncalf, the world No3 from Harrogate, are named as top seeds.
The country's premier domestic squash event will take place in Manchester for the 14th successive year, staged at the National Squash Centre in Sportcity from 9-14 February.
Success would make Matthew and Duncalf the first pair of champions in the 36-year history of the championships to retain their titles simultaneously.
Unbeaten in the men's event since 2005, Nick Matthew is expected to face England team-mate Peter Barker in the final. The left-hander from London is now the second highest-ranked Englishman in the world list, after leapfrogging two times champion James Willstrop to take over the world No6 ranking.
Willstrop, now the world No7, is the third seed - and will be hoping to be in the opposite half of the draw from Yorkshire rival Matthew. The pair last met in Manchester in the British Open final last September - an acrimonious clash which threatened to upset England team morale in the World Team Championships which followed shortly afterwards.
Thankfully, the two Yorkshiremen appear to have set aside their differences - to concentrate on what matters most, their squash.
Jenny Duncalf's main threat in the women's event also appears to come from London, the home of second seed Alison Waters, the world No6. The pair have shared the titles for the past three years - and met in the final in 2007 and 2009, with Duncalf successful in both.
Waters has already kicked off the New Year in fine style, winning the Greenwich Open in the USA without dropping a game.
The top eight seeds in both events are:
Men: 1 Nick Matthew (Yorkshire); 2 Peter Barker (Essex); 3 James Willstrop (Yorkshire); 4 Adrian Grant (Kent); 5 Alister Walker (Gloucestershire); 6 Daryl Selby (Essex); 7 Jonathan Kemp (Shropshire); 8 Joey Barrington (Somerset)
Women: 1 Jenny Duncalf (Yorkshire); 2 Alison Waters (Middlesex); 3 Madeline Perry (Ireland); 4 Laura Massaro (Lancashire); 5 Tania Bailey (Lincolnshire); 6 Dominique Lloyd-Walter (Middlesex); 7 Lauren Briggs (Essex); 8 Sarah Kippax (Cheshire)
The 2010 Nationals will also include a comprehensive programme of Masters events from Over-35 to Over-70 championships. The main events will be staged entirely at the National Squash Centre – with action from the quarter-finals onwards on the all-glass court in the major arena surrounded by seating for more than 1,000 spectators.
