Full results of the Open Singles here.

Main Event: Chris beat Ian Lines 3-1. Chris won the first and third with TPs, Ian had a TP in the 3rd, and Chris won the 4th with a TPO. Match report here.

Y winner: AJ Reid beat Ian Vincent 3-1 in what was also a best-of-five final -26 -5 , 26tp-0 , 11-26 , 26-20

This was a match between youth hitting hard and straight and age being careful. The last game ended with a 2-ball contest. AJ was for 6 and Ian for Hoop 1. Both made errors but AJ with the hoop advantage and better shooting made it too difficult for Ian to catch up.

Consolation Swiss: Won by Paddy Chapman, winners of X,Y ineligible.

Peeling: AJ had 7 TPs in the event, Chris had 10, Mike McClure had a couple and Greg had a handful. Few others done by others.

What turned out to be, in effect the final, was the game in the 7th Round between Chris Clarke & Jenny Williams and Greg Bryant and Paddy Chapman. Greg and Paddy make one hoop before conceding the innings to Chris. While going to 4-back Chris popped the other oppo ball through 1 and then both balls through 2. With the lift missed, Jenny proceeded to complete her first triple of the tournament. This meant Chris Clarke & Jenny Williams went through unbeaten.

Photo: Drama with the Hoops! Paddy Chapman and Jane McIntrye requested two hoops to be reset in their Swiss match, with Paddy claiming the black Barlow ball was getting more and more egg-shaped as the match went on. This incident happened at hoop 4.
