Southport B Level Tournament 20/21 July 2019

A wet and windy Saturday morning greeted eight players for this year’s B level event. Played as a swiss it produced some thrilling finishes and thoughtful play over the weekend.
Improving weather helped the lawns to dry out and on occasions become testing. By Sunday lunchtime 2 players were undefeated and played a wonderful final on lawn 1.
Derek Knight (Beverley) beat Barbara Haslam (Southport) to win by +11 and take the Hawkins Cup.
