With 64 players taking part the event was only four players short of the record set six years ago.
In round one there were 180s from Karl Wingate (Lamb Nomads) and Richard Pennells (Richmond Resurrected), but only Pennells got through to round two.

Despite Pennells having hit his second 180 in the previous round, Tony Phillips was also on form after having hit a 156 out-shot during the night, and his scoring was enough to help get them to the final.
The second semi-final pitched reigning champions Rachel and Adam Hall (Aldingbourne Mavericks), against Trish Kidd and Ben Todd (Railway Sleepers), but it didn’t go well for the champs and they lost 2-0 to Kidd and Todd.
The first leg of the final brought a ton and 140 each from Tony Phillips and Kidd, but it was Todd who hit the double first.
