Number 1 seed, Welsh’s Deon Saffrey was too much for
Scotland’s Frania Gillen-Burchet beating her 3-1 in an enthralling match. A
match that the crowd were dying to see go to a fifth game.
Although it was Saffrey who took an early lead in the
first, Gillen-Burchet managed to win a streak of points that led to her
taking the first. However, Saffrey always looked in control of the match,
her versatility letting her control both the long endurance rallies and the
short ones. On the whole, she seemed at home on the court and thoroughly
deserved her first BSPA win.

Joel Hinds beat Eddie Charlton 11/7 11/6 11/3 37 mins
Two young Englishman took out both the top seeds in
the semi-final and lined up for what was expected to be a great final. But
Joel Hinds showed his true class as he dominated the game from start to
finish, beating his countryman Eddie Charlton 3 games to 0.
It was clear that it had been a long week for
Charlton, and his two previous five set matches showed their effect. Hinds
looked a little better for wear as the long rallies took their toll on his
opponent. A masterclass of nicks however kept Charlton in the game for as
long as possible, but in the end it was the discrepancy between the number
of tins that decided the game. A good 3-0 win for Hinds that kept the crowd
on the edge of their seats for the entire game.
