Andy Brandwood returned to Edgbaston on 30/31 August to defend the Sally Nichols trophy for our B Class event. Although a narrow winner on a split tie last year he won all five games in fine style including a tp against highest-ranked entrant Clive Goode. Bank Holiday rain delayed the Monday start but did not prevent sufficient play.

Several games produced close endings including a ten-hoop break with two peels needed by Sylvia Steer in her time turn to beat husband Mike. Tony Whateley (for peg-and-peg) hit a fine peg-and-4-back leave by Adrian Morris to win.
