The tournament was played on an Egyptian Format & split into 2 divisions. In the case of a draw by final index level, the net combined score for each individual was taken into account. Robin Wootton narrowly beat Luc Berthouze in Division 1 having a similar index but with a net score 1 better than Luc. In the 2nd Division Michelle Damon was a clear winner. The format was well received by the players and allowed us to complete sufficient games before the heavens opened. Jonathan Isaacs Tournament Manager

The consolation bottle was awarded to Jonathan Isaacs, as a shortened (so players could watch the final) Swiss competition did not produce a true outcome.
Full results to follow.
The team AC 14pt Doubles competition was won by Southwick.
However the star of the weekend was:
