2016 Open Doubles – Results

A big thank you to the 15 teams that turned out for the Open Doubles Championship, which was held in perfect conditions, normally reserved for the Mediterranean region.

After a morning of qualification the top 8 teams won through to the main, while the bottom 7 teams played in the B competition.

The final of the Open Doubles was between Len Fields and Jeremy Claire from Pontyclun PC and Jake Caston and Peter Westall from the Wheatsheaf PC and Wenvoe PC, respectively. Len and Jeremy beat the strong pairing of Phil Bradshaw and Ian Bailey in the semi-final. The pairing of Jake and Peter’s experience finally showed and they won this year’s competition.

The B Competition saw Vickie Adshead and Rose Fiera from Monkstone PC and Julie Bailey and Gay Evans from Monkstone Inn PC. After a a close start, again experience showed and Julie and Gay pulled away to win the competition.
