Two entries in two events and 2 great medal performances. Ellie Taylor takes gold in the Under 11 Girls event after a first round poule which she was No1 seed after, and 10-0, 5-3 and finally a close 10-9 victory in the final to take the title. Well done Ellie.
In the Men’s Open event, Joshua Myers competed in a field of 58 and after a strong 1st round performance was 4th seed. With a bye through the last 64, he drew Northampton’s Paul Willmott (not an ideal opponent for a first DE) with Joshua winning out 15-11 to make the last 16. Impressive wins then against Robert Alcock (Salle Joseph) 15-7 and 5th Seed Dimitri Tcherukine (Birmingham FC) 15-8 took Joshua through to the Semi-finals where he was finally beaten by Gloucester’s Jan Gerboc in a close 15-12 match. This is Joshua’s best Senior result to date and should help boosting his senior National ranking further into the top 100.
