4 August 2012 by Jean Hargreaves

Coronation Park 4th Aug, Grassroots Regional Final
Hosted by Bury CC and managed by Bury member Jean Hargreaves.

Ian Dampney won from Bury’s Graham Good.

Bury’s newest sensation in waiting – Graham Good (he only joined this year) blew his way into the final, but thats where his luck ran out, being beaten by visitor Ian Dampney (shown in play). Still, since top eight from today all qualify for the Northampton finals, he could still lift a National Title in his first season.

Bury Club Chairman Barbara Young presented the Trophys,
Advanced Summer Silver Trophy – Andrew Winn.

Only Nine players braved the current *English Summer* to enter this year, but after sweeping the standing water of the three required surfaces on Friday prior to setting up, we didn’t get another drop until all contestants had left Sunday evening.
Format; All play all as a single block – eight games each over the weekend? In the end it worked out and Bowdon Member ( what again????) Andrew Winn was the clear winner – totally unbeaten.
