The 2nd event was cancelled the day before play but 3 players turned up from outside of the county on the day and the local players were hastily contacted and the competition took place with 7 players.
Long time rankings leader Sameer Knight closed the gap on current leader James Jelley beating his club mate 2-0 in the final.
