Sometimes it pays to turn up for a Grand Prix and hope for a scratch entry and this was certainly the case with
Louis Price who had the good fortune to replace top seed Grigory Vlasov, Russia, and ended up as runner-up
in the Men’s Singles, just missing out on the top prize of £500 when he lost in the final 14-12 in the fifth to the
fourth seed, Radoslav Kamberov of Bulgaria. Guernsey’s Garry Dodd and Bogdan Postudor were the semifinalists.

Top spot in the Women’s Singles went to Mollie Patterson who took home £320. There was a low entry in this
event and so the lower prize level kicked in. She defeated Tianer Yu 3-1 in her final. Semi-finalists were Aanchal
Malhotra and Linda Zeng.
Umair Mauthoor won the Restricted Singles with a victory over Dodds whilst the Under 21 titles went to Joseph
Hunter and Yu. Ferxey Ayala from Colombia won the Veterans’ Singles defeating Zayd Mauthoor in that final.
