The above tournament took place with only 4 entries again this year and was won, again, by Mark Simmerson of Sheffield CC who won all his 5 games. The players agreed to use the Clock Lawn and found it to be a little tricky for controlled play, as no watering had been able to happen due to a fractured water pipe underground and the surface was fast so no peg out games on Saturday but by Sunday, the players got a little more used to the conditiions and Mark was able to peg out both his games.

Colin played GC and was a canny player for the teams, he and Derek Old often played each other to sharpen their respective skills. He moved to Norwich so Eileen and he could be closer to their respective families.
