Sussex World Finalists reach Grand Prix Semi-Finals

Kevin Tunstall and Martin Cole reached the semi-finals of the AEBBA Grand Prix that was played on Sunday 24th November in Arborsfield.

The pair had earlier in the month contested the World Championship Final in Jersey but they both failed to go beyond the semi-finals this time as KT was beaten by England captain Curt Driver and Martin fell to Mark Trafford, who would go on to win the event.

Both Kevin and Martin were in great form in their groups winning all three games to qualify. Kevin won Group A that included Sussex’s Martin Smith and Jack Baden and Martin topped Group C.

Group B contained three Sussex players but all were eliminated with Mark Trafford of Oxford topping the group. Mark finished level on two wins with Nigel Senior and Phil Osborne but qualified on aggregate score. Joe Oakley was the other player in the group.

Stuart Mepham was the final Sussex player in the competition and finished third in Group D.
