Formerly ranked in the PSA top 30, Clive brings his formidable talents to the ISDA tour. Clive effortlessly glides around the court, never hurried, feathering irretrievable drops to the front corners. Early in his doubles career when teamed with Blair Horler, the pair were the only team able to consistently push the overpowering team of Waite and Mudge. These matches resulted in some memorable battles, with Leach Horler winning the Canadian Pro Championships, Philadelphia Open and the prestigious Kellner Cup in 2004. Clive has clearly become one of the most dangerous shot makers on tour. Over the last few seasons, Clive has teamed with a variety of partners including Willie Hosey, Mike Pirnak and his most recent partner this season, Scott Butcher, with whom he reached the finals of the US Nationals in 2007. Now teaming with Chris Walker for the 2007-08 season, Leach Walker won the first two events of the season (St. Louis and Baltimore) and briefly held the number one ranking. Off the court, Clive can be found with a smile on his face talking about his baby daughter and the joys of fatherhood.
