Ladies Final
Deon Saffrey beat Frania Gillen-Buchert 8/11 11/6 11/7
11/7 29 mins
Number 1 seed, Welsh’s Deon Saffrey was too much for Scotland’s Frania
Gillen-Buchert beating her 3-1 in an enthralling match. A match that the
crowd were dying to see go to a fifth game.
Although it was Saffrey who took an early lead in the first, Gillen-Buchert
managed to win a streak of points that led to her taking the first.
However, Saffrey always looked in control of the match, her versatility
letting her control both the long endurance rallies and the short ones.
On the whole, she seemed at home on the court and thoroughly deserved
her first BSPA win.

Men’s Final
Joel Hinds beat Eddie Charlton
11/7 11/6 11/3 37 mins
Two young Englishman took out both the top seeds in the semi-final and
lined up for what was expected to be a great final. But Joel Hinds
showed his true class as he dominated the game from start to finish,
beating his countryman Eddie Charlton 3 games to 0.
It was clear that it had been a long week for Charlton, and his two
previous five set matches showed their effect. Hinds looked a little
better for wear as the long rallies took their toll on his opponent. A
masterclass of nicks however kept Charlton in the game for as long as
possible, but in the end it was the discrepancy between the number of
tins that decided the game. A good 3-0 win for Hinds that kept the crowd
on the edge of their seats for the entire game.
