JOINING MARTIN AND MIKE IN THE QUARTER FINALS WERE TRACEY AYLIFFE,MIN WRIGHT,PAULINE NICAC,ELAINE LISTER,STEVE MEAD AND CLIVE CARTER.. TRACEY BEAT MIN ON A SUDDEN DEATH END AND MARTIN,ELAINE AND CLIVE ALSO PROGRESSED TO THE SEMI FINALS. ALTHOUGH MARTIN BEAT TRACEY TO GET TO THE FINAL NO ONE COULD DENY THAT TRACEY PROVIDED THE ENTERTAINMENT WITH HER ENJOYMENT OF THE GAME. THE OTHER SEMI SAW CLIVE BEATING ELAINE EVEN THOUGH ELAINE ONLY LOST THE SECOND SET 7-5. THE FINAL BETWEEN MARTIN EGGLETON AND CLIVE CARTER WAS INTERUPTED BY A DOWNPOUR AND ON RESUMPTION CLIVE BECAME CHAMPION,WINNING 7-4 7-1 WITH MOST OF THE ENTRANTS STILL THERE AT THE END TO ADD THEIR CONGRATULATIONS. MANY MANY THANKS TO ALL PLAYERS IN SUPPORTING THE MEMORY OF LENN CHUBB AND THE VOLUNTEER MARKERS WHO MADE IT ALL POSSIBLE.
