The draw for the Cardiff Grand Prix

The first Joe Morris Memorial proved a huge success today with some great matches from all competitors aged 5 up to 15. Big thanks to Stan Eastwood, Vince Dragone, Dennis Bromage and John Finnemore for all their efforts in help running the event.

Cadet Boys proved a close contest with Ryan Oyler beating Chris Griffiths 3-2 in the final. It proved neck and neck throughout the match with Oyler clinching the final set 11-3. On his way to the final Ryan overcame Liam Winder 3-0 in the quarters and Callum Evans 3-0 in the semis. On Chris' way to the final he saw off Jonathan Bisp 3-0, Jac Jenkins 3-1.

Day 3 Report

Things didn’t go right to plan in the first team matches. The boys (Conor, Alex and Lewis) lost to France C in a very fast time. The boys couldn’t get close to the French players and each set saw a huge gap. It wasn’t lack of effort but everything seemed to go the French teams way.

The girls had a very close match against Germany but the same score of 0-3 sat on the scoreboard at the end. Angharad (1-3), Charlotte (1-3) and Megan (0-3) tried their best but lost the close sets too often.

In the afternoon match versus England Lewis Williams lost out to Sam Walker. Lewis Gray then beat Alex Prosser close before Conor Edwards saw a 5-2 lead in the 5th set vanish against Igor Morais to give England the 3-0 win.

Day 2 Report

With Angharad and Charlotte unable to play in the consolation events due to them reaching round 1 of the main draw, it was up to Chloe, Megan, Lewis, Conor and Alex to produce some needed results.

All 7 players were in action today in the individual events and 2 players made it through to the knockout stages

Charlotte Carey and Angharad Phillips made it into the last 32 but couldn't progress any further. Charlotte lost to Mittelham (cadet European Champion 2011) of Germany 4-0 and Angharad lost to Imamura also of Germany 4-1.
