In A, B, C & D grades on Sat morning's first round clashes, they split: Winners progressed to the cups while losers went into a consolation competition for the plates. In the afternoon for the second series of matches, the competition heated up as this was a knockout stage. The A semis saw some ball-busting hits- Kenny Boyle lost out to Peter O'Hara who was crunching the ball into the nick at will with both players attacking at the earliest opportunity. The other semi saw a more tactical attritional game which was also fascinating, Iain Tennant held his nerve for a straight games win over Colin Grant.
On Sunday, the Ladies, C & D has semis in the morning. Donna Cruickshank held out in 3 games winning over Elaine Inglis but Richard van Lienden went out to Chris Weare. Donna lost her final to Senga Macfie but put up a very good performance.
In the A final, Peter O'Hara was dominant for 2 games but Iain Tennant was on even terms in the third and willed on by neutrals and supporters to give us a longer spectacle of squash. However it wasn't to be as Peter closed out 3-0.
