Eight titles were decided over an action-packed two days as the standard of play remained remarkably high.

The highlight was the men's singles B final, described by event organiser Brian Hobden as "an absolutely fantastic game which had the De La Warr Pavilion on its feet." Charlie Kenward (scratch) ultimately prevailed 10-15, 15-13, 15-8 in a three game epic with Wayne Holman (-three).

Sheldon Chambers took the showpiece men's singles A title thanks to a 15-9, 15-9 defeat of fellow county player Ollie Smith.
