The competitions this year were played in leagues with each person playing the opposition players in a round robin within their league. The semi finals will be held between the winners of each league and runners up organised in each competition depending on the number of leagues in the competition.

This year’s doubles competitions had pairs picked at random before the competition started. Pairs scored 2 points for a win and 1 if they lost the game on the golden hoop. After some tough competition during the day The final was played between Caroline L with Caroline P and David and Rob. After a very competitive final David Freer and Rob Campbell won the cup. 

The handicap singles was again played in 2 leagues with the winner of each league playing the runner up in the other league. Colin and Mike were in the final and in a tense final the golden hoop was claimed by Colin Brennan, who won 7-6 and carried off the cup (in his backpack)!!!

The level singles was played in 3 leagues with the winner of each league and the highest overall loser contesting the semi finals. The final was played between Roger and Ray. A hard fought game saw Roger take the cup at hoop 12 with a 7-5 win.

The Men’s singles was held on the same day as the ladies and from the 2 leagues the winners played the runner up from the other league. The final was between Nigel and Ray with Nigel being successful on the golden hoop to take the cup 7-5.
