Unfortunately, there has been a dropout in the Masters. Barry West is next in line, I know Barry looks at the forum, but if anyone is able to contact him to speed up the process and find out if he is available that would be appreciated. If Barry is not available we would move to Paul Jobbins so same applies please

Thanks for chasing Bob, with Mark unable to play and Barry now in that has seen the make up of the groups change. I have updated them

[StuC]

If anyone is available to help lift and set-up tables at the Roffey Club from 9.30 Saturday morning then please let me know. Thanks

The Masters was played today and I was very lucky to be able to add my name to the list of winners by beating Kevin Hall in the Final. Kev had two breaks in the first leg and got 14k in front, before I finished off with 2k. I then touched at 15k in the second leg.

I had beaten Martin Cole in a very close semi-final and Kev beat Steve Beach who had played very well to reach that stage. Daniel Wheal, Dave Ingram, Nigel Senior and Tony Jenner were the other group winners.

Bob Hall beat Chris Cox in the plate final.

Thank you to Stuart Mepham, Alan & Jean Brackenridge and John Slee (who helped all day including scoring despite not taking part) for arriving early to help lift and set-up the tables. Also to Chris Tupper, Matt Knight and Nigel Senior for their help in setting-up and getting the tables ready for play.

Thank you also to the Roffey Club for hosting us.

Thank you also to everyone who helped score during the day, particularly those who stayed after losing which meant we were able to play all of the eight quarter-finals at the same time, and finish early.

As normal with the tables at the moment, and having not had much time to settle, they presented challenges but all played to a good standard and decent breaks were possible on all of them.

Will get the full results onto the website soon.

Well done Stu.  Seeded 13th too - lucky for some !
I can feel a Billingshurst heroes post coming on ....

[bigtj]

Well done Stuart and thanks to all that helped get the event up and running, sorry I was unable to help on Saturday morning.

["Silent"]

Well done Stuart, fully deserved, taking some big scalps on the way and keeping calm under the pressure of chasing down Kev's score, making an excellent break.

Kev had an excellent day too, and well done to brother Bob on winning the Plate
