GC B level and C level Tournaments 2025

Over the weekend SCCC hosted two CqE Series tournaments.

B level

On Saturday, 26 April we had 32 players for the B-Level (4+ handicap) Series (with thanks to Clare Rockall from Gainsborough who stepped in when someone withdrew that morning).

The morning session comprised 8 blocks of four players but double banking and the considerable number of 7-6 matches contributed to a slow start to the day with the blocks not completed until about 1.30 despite a 9.30 start.

The top two from each block qualified for the Main Knockout, with 3rd and 4th entering the Plate. Those eliminated filtered down into the Shield, Bowl & Saucer although not all matches were played.

The overall winner was Andrew Lockwood from Guildford who beat Nicholas Barton (Dulwich) 7-2. The Plate winner was Margaret Page (Ealing), 7-3 against Edward Patel (Surbiton). Colin Carver (Enfield) won the Bowl, overcoming Simon Draper (Norwich) 7-5. Well done to all who took part and congratulations to the winners. Many thanks to the Angelas, Avis & Jones, for a splendid frittata & salad lunch.

C level

Sunday, 27 April saw the C-Level (7+ Series) with 16 competitors, again divided into blocks of four. Single banking and timed matches saw the blocks completed in good time, with Helen Lucas and Ian Prince (both Dulwich) each winning all 3 games.

Ian continued his good form right through to the Main Knockout final where he beat David Grimshaw (Tunbridge Wells) 7-2. The Plate Final was between Clare Rockall & Fiona Fall (Compton) with Clare prevailing 7-1. In the Shield Final Michael Pudney (Chichester) beat Truida Trevere (Dulwich) 7-5. Andrew Jackson (Guildford) claimed the Saucer (no milk), overcoming Robert Hassell (Tunbridge Wells) 7-3.

Thanks are also due to Rachel and Richard Pointon for a baked potato lunch with delicious curried mushrooms & coleslaw.
