Match Report
Sat & Sun 16 & 17 Sep 2006 - All England Handicap Finals at Nailsea
Cornwall's player, Nigel Grant, came so close to victory.
He won all 3 matches on Saturday, losing -1, to the eventual winner, David Eckford from Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire, on Sunday morning, then went on to win his 5th and final game in the afternoon.
Thus a very close result with Nigel gaining a very well deserved 2nd place, the 16 players in the Finals having been selected from their respective divisions from all over England a couple of weeks ago.
