Frankland’s experience and powerful play, linked to some fine accu- rate drop shots, proved difficult for Jamie to get into the match. Jamie’s success in the competition came in the semi-finals where he overcame Phil Nightingale (Reigate) to reach the final. In the women’s event, Jane Allman, who trains at Surrey Sports Park at Surrey Uni., had her opponent, Sandra Dunn, from New Malden, on the defensive from the outset. Sandra squeezed the third game out of Allman, but went down 4-11, 9-11, 11-9, 6-11. As always the age category events produced some hard-fought matches, including two upper age groups - Over-55s and 60s which both went the full distance. In the O-55s, Steve Jackson (Bourne) slipped from 8-2 in the final game to lose to David Clarke (Colets) 8-10. Similarly, Patrick Fleming (Oxshott) pulled back from 0-5 down in the final game to win 10-9 with a drop shot which, ironically, his opponent Andy Larkin (New Malden) had been using to devastating effect throughout the match.
