With all the top seeded players being unable hold their nerve under the stress imposed by the handicap algorithm, we saw Catherine Stewart defeat Nina Ludekens and Gabriele Bailey defeat Alasdair in their respective semi finals.
After a 9am start of play it was impressive that many of the 24 participants remained for the 7pm final. Many thanks to Louise and others for providing sustenance to keep the athletes fuelled!
Catherine had the energy and greater concentration to succeed 6/1 in her first CURTC trophy against the slightly exhausted Gabriele who played many dazzling shots throughout the day.
Many thanks to John Trapp, as always, for conceiving the format and to all who played with the appropriate ratio of Christmas cheer and ruthless competitiveness.
