Day 1 saw the team event action with Ryan & Stephen Jenkins as number 1 seeds and Ryan Owen partner Derbyshire's Dave Arrowsmith as number 3 seeds.
Ryan & Steve made it to the final with a 3-0 win against Jakub Wankowicz and Craig Gascoigne of Jersey. In the other semi Ryan Owen took Damien Nichols to 5 sets but just missed out and Arrowsmith lost the same score to Matt Ware. So it was up to the doubles for them to save the match but that was lost again in the 5th end.
The final was won 3-0 by the Welsh players with Steve Jenkins winning deuce in the 5th against Ware and then Ryan beating Damien 3-0. The 3rd match, the doubles, was won 3-0 to finish the tie and for the Welsh boys to take the prize money.
Saturday sees the band categories being played and Sunday will have the Men's and Women's singles plus the U21 and Vetts.
