Despite losing his first game, Chris Farthing rallied with six straight wins to win the Letchworth 14-pt advanced tournament. This is the second time in three years that Chris has won the event. Alison Maugham finished in second place with five wins from seven, and Nick Steiner came third with four wins from his six games.

Conditions were dry but cold, with the playing surface in excellent condition. Testament indeed to all the hard work put in by Keith Rhodes and the rest of the Letchworth grounds team.

At the end of the day just one question remained: why aren't there more 14-point events in the CA calendar?
