Martin Cole made the Final of the Grand Prix at the Totteridge Club on Sunday 27th November.
Nipper had played well all day but in the Final was unable to match Oxford’s Mark Trafford first leg play-out of over 21k.
Sussex had ten of the 16 qualifiers; who were split into four groups of four, with the winners progressing to the Semi-Finals.
Martin topped a group containing Alan Donovan, Stuart Carruthers and Phil Osborne and then beat Buck’s Matt Jones in the Last four.
Joe Oakley also made the Semi-Final stage having won a group ahead of Dave Ingram, Stephen Coleman and Stuart Mepham.
The Ladies Grand Prix was played on the same day with Jean Brackenridge and Michelle Baden playing from Sussex. However never really fired on the day and never made the Final.
