The tournament is new to Somerset and is aimed at club and team players. The event was entered by 14 players (five from Avenue, three juniors - Rob Horler, Billy May, Josh Lutner - and two adults - Rob Sweet and Colin Christison.
Both Rob Horler and Rob Sweet did the Avenue proud by making it to the semi-finals, but both lost to experienced opposition. Neil Driver from Millfield School played Colin Selby and won 6-0, 6-3.
