Andy Dibben receives the Sage Bowl from Richard White

28 players competed in the Nottingham B Level this year - one of our highest attendances since the tournament began in 2000. The weather was excellent, being a little cooler than the previous weekend, and we received very little of the forecast rain on Sunday.

Nottingham's four West Lawns continue to impress. They are very flat, even and virtually unmarked, and the surrounding foliage is quite stunning.

Most of the five relaid East Lawns are back in action and are already playing extremely well.

Good food, copious drinks, laughter and fun were had by all, especially Guy Hewitt who missed the peg out with both balls against Andy Dibben when looking for a place in the semi-finals. The Chairman of Surbiton needed no such luck in his semi-final against Sanaa Hallam nor when up against Alex McIntyre (the Chairman of Nottingham) in the final on Lawn 6. Andy won the Sage Bowl and gamely donned the traditional sage wreath.

Sanaa beat Heather Bennett in the play off for 3rd-4th place, and Steve Skelton worked his way through to take top spot in the higher handicap competition.
