Veteran Singles
Mircea Neagu and Rory Scott

Mircea Neagu defeated Rory Scott 3-0 (11-2, 12-10, 11-5) in the final to take the title.

The semi-finals were more demanding for both finalists, Neagu coming through 3-2 (11-2, 10-12, 11-9, 5-11, 11-8) against Niall Cameron and Scott defeating Abu Salehbhai 3-2 (11-7, 3-11, 11-9, 8-11, 11-4). Salehbhai won 3-2 (11-8, 6-11, 10-12, 11-3, 11-2) against Andy Price in the quarter-finals.

The Under-21 Women’s Singles was not played due to insufficient entries.

Men’s Band 1
Tianyi Yu and Mircea Neagu

Second seed Tianyi Yu went from the brink of elimination in the last 16 to winning the band.

Yu recovered from 2-0 down to Brandon Sangchin to win 3-1 (10-12, 9-11, 13-11, 11-9, 11-5), then beat Jie Fu Tham in four and Lewis Waddup up in three to reach the final.

His opponent there was Mircea Neagu, who had defeated Ching Jay Law 3-2 (11-6, 7-11, 11-8, 14-16, 11-9) in the quarter-finals and then got past Joe Sawyer in the semis. Sawyer was taken to five games by Sammy Kaye in the last eight before triumphing 3-2 (11-9, 11-9, 13-15, 9-11, 11-7).

The final had less drama as Yu took the Band with a 3-0 (8, 8, 9) scoreline.

Women’s Band 1

Tsz Yan Nancy Yeh took the first part of her weekend double as she defeated Lok Yee Lo 3-0 (11-9, 11-9, 11-8) in the final – the same opponent she would go on to beat in the Women’s Singles final the following day.

In the semi-finals, Lo defeated Ewelina Sychta 3-1 (11-4, 8-11, 11-6, 11-7), while Yeh overcame Juliette Helfi 3-0 (11-8, 11-6, 11-6).

Ben Dunkley came back from 2-0 down to Kieran Smith in the final to win the Band with a 3-2 (7-11, 10-12, 12-10, 11-6, 11-7) triumph.

Smith had come out on the right side of a 3-2 scoreline in the semi-finals, where he beat Gabriel Schogger 8-11, 11-6, 6-11, 11-9, 12-10).

That line of ties could be traced back through some fine matches, Schogger having got through the quarter-finals with a fine 3-2 (7-11, 3-11, 11-7, 11-1, 12-10) victory over Rory Scott, who himself had won 3-2 (7-11, 11-9, 5-11, 14-12, 11-6) in the last 16 against Ho Yin Tam.

The other side of the draw saw Dunkley get past Abdel Raqueeb in the quarters and Leon Vlasov in the semis.

Women’s Band 2
Juliette Helfi and Monika Tomaszek

Juliette Helfi got the better of Monika Tomaszek in a see-saw final, eventually taking a 3-2 11-4, 10-12, 11-5, 5-11, 11-6) victory.

Both semi-finals were done in three games as Tomaszek beat Aneta Kula 11-7, 11-6, 11-4 and Helfi defeated Anan Piercey 12-10, 11-8, 11-9.

Men’s Band 3
Lee Dorning and Janak Shah

Lee Dorning took the second leg of a two-Band double as he defeated Janak Shah 3-1 (11-7, 11-4, 9-11, 11-5) in the final.

But Dorning had no nearly gone out in the quarter-finals, where he defeated Rex Wong 3-2 (6-11, 2-11, 11-9, 13-11, 11-7). He then went on to beat Joe Britnell 3-0 (11-1, 11-5, 13-11) in the semi-finals.

Shah got past Shaun Slater 3-1 (11-8, 10-12, 11-9, 11-6) in the semi-finals – his opponent had reached that stage on the back of a 3-2 (11-9, 7-11, 11-9, 10-12, 11-9) quarter-final victory over Marcus Ka Lam Lai.

Women’s Band 3
Monika Tomaszek and Aneta Kula

Monika Tomaszek won the round-robin competition but needed countback to finish ahead of Aneta Kula after both had won four out of five matches.

Crucially, Tomaszek won the head-to-head meeting, which went to five games before she prevailed 3-2 (8-11, 11-5, 11-6, 6-11, 11-6).

Tomaszek also had to dig deep against Lily Walters, triumphing 3-2 (11-7, 3-11, 7-11, 11-5, 15-13) in another result which made a big difference to the final standings.

However, the champion was defeated 3-0 (11-7, 12-10, 11-5) by Rita Lopes, resulting in the countback as Kula had won all her other matches.

Walters finished in third place, ahead of Lopes on countback – again, it came down to the head-to-head record, which was a 3-2 (4-11, 11-2, 11-7, 6-11, 11-6) win for Walters.

Men’s Band 4
Brian Wan and Lee Dorning

Lee Dorning saw off Brian Wan 3-0 (11-7, 11-2, 11-9) in the final to take the title.

Dorning earlier got past Craig Brown 3-0 (6, 8, 11) in the semi-finals, while Wan defeated Craig Allen 3-1 (11-9, 11-7, 5-11, 11-7).

Back in the last 16, Daniel Clarke recovered a 2-0 deficit in defeating Ryan Gaveglia 3-2 (6-11, 11-13, 12-10, 14-12, 11-7) – Clarke then lost to Wan in the quarters.

Men’s Band 5
Adam Klos and Shun Hei Chang

Shun Hei Chang won in three close games, defeating Adam Klos 11-9, 11-8, 11-8 in the final.

Both semi-finals were also finished off in three straight, Change getting past Ka Him Lee 11-9, 12-10, 12-10 and Klos defeating Ben Roberts 11-6, 11-4, 11-3.

Men’s Band 6
Adam Klos and Romayne Stewart

His defeat in the Band 5 final meant Adam Klos missed a double, having earlier triumphed in Band 6.

It was a tight final against Romayne Stewart, Klos eventually emerging on the right side of a 3-2 (12-10, 7-11, 11-8, 8-11, 12-10) scoreline.

Klos beat Adrian Jones 3-0 (11-8, 13-11, 11-4) in the semi-finals, while Stewart overcame Aiden Meredith 3-0 (11-8, 11-6, 11-9).
