Peter Adams (Guildford) won the GC B-Level (4+) Series tournament at East Dorset 17-18 May, beating Steve Baldwin (Compton) in a tightly contested final 7-4, 6-7, 7-6.
With a full complement of 16 for the 2-day tournament, the format was pretty standard - two blocks of eight on Saturday followed by knockouts for the main event and the plate on Sunday.
Reasonably fast lawns and tight, firm hoops made the conditions quite testing, but the players appeared to enjoy the challenge and we saw some excellent play on both days.

Winner: Peter Adams (3), Guildford
