Sunday 4th November saw a maximum
entry of 55 take part at Barton le Clay.
The 55 entries were drawn into
11 groups of 5 with the winners and 5 best runners up to progress
to the Knockout stage.
Group A
D Dewey and B Bol were leading the way but the final game between
them decided the group, D Dewey lost to B Bol but his superior
shot difference saw him through.
Group B
P Webster took group B with 3 wins leaving J Webbley to wait
on 5points.
Group C
M Rogers was undefeated in the group with 3 wins and a draw,
with T Tumber on 6 points as runner-up.
Group D
D Walker and J Greaves both tied on 6 points and with a level
shot difference D Walker took the group on shots scored.
Group E
Defending Champion N Rixon lost his 2nd game but progressed on
6 points with P Bol on 5, he would have to wait and see if that
was enough.
Group F
C Brock won all her games in the group to ease through leaving
G Buttrum to wait for the count on 5 points.
Group G
S Knapton and J Wagstaff had 6 points each but S Knapton won
the group on shot difference.
Group H
P Hurren dominated the group, finishing on 7 points. With the
runner-up on 4 points it looked unlikely they would progress.
Group I
M Martin led the way wirth 7 points. A Hatton was runner up on
6 and with good shot difference.
Group J
R Macdonald won all his games and S Hall lost one but on 6 points
would probably go through.
Group K
K Cockings won 3 games to progress H Ball was runner up but would
5 points be enough?

End 7 - Poor end this, both players are all over the mat
but Paul nabs a single 8-6

to nudge the shot wood back to hold but Dave draws to beat that,
Paul's final wood is a superb draw to take a single 8-7
End 9 - Paul is in on the jack with his 2nd wood to hold.
The pressure is on Dave to get close he tries but is a little
wide and Paul draws in a 3rd. Dave cannot move the head and Paul
takes 3 to win 8-10
Congratulations to Dave on reaching the final and to Paul on
his Singles title the final was a great way to end the day.
