Jersey GP - Day 3


Ryan Jenkins lifted another Grand Prix in sunny Jersey to add to his overall tally of points this season. Ryan beat his brother Steve 3-0 in the semi final and Matt Ware, at the same score, in the final.

With 3 majors left in London, Guildford & a Midlands GP it looks like Ryan's claiming back his Overall GP title.

Steve beat Craig Gascoinge in his QF match 3-0 to reach the semis. Ryan Owen also reached the QF stage losing close to number 3 seed Damien Nichols 2-3 (9-11 in the 5th). Nichols lost out to Ware 1-3 in the 2nd semi final.

The women's event was won by Alice Loveridge who beat both Emma Vickers and Emily Bates to win her prize fund and trophy.

The U21 singles was won by Matt Ware, again over Nichols 3-1, and Emma Vickers who had revenge on Alice in the final.

Jac Jenkins (against Nichols) and soffi Jenkins (Vickers and Loveridge) lost out in their U21 groups but Jac did receive the 'player of the tournament' award for his wins in getting to the two banded semi finals the previous day.

A fantastic time with great hospitality from Chris Band and his team in Jersey...
