Mark James reached the Final of the Bucks Open which was played on Sunday 7th August at the Totteridge Club in High Wycombe.
The tournament was won by Matt Jones, who retained the title having also won it last time it was held in 2019. In the Final Matt ran the table out in the first leg to set a target of just under 17k but Mark conceded shortly after missing on 3k in his reply.
Following a disappointing showing in Oxford, Sussex performed strongly and were responsible for seven of the eight Quarter-Finalists. Kevin Tunstall and Dave Ingram lost in the Semi-Finals while Joe Oakley, Stuart Carruthers, Nigel Senior and Matthew Knight also made the last eight.
The Plate was won by Martin Cole who beat Northants Simon Coleman in the Final.
Kevin Tunstall had the highest break of the day and Jean Brackenridge won the highest Ladies break.
