Tony Boyle told me that Lindus Edwads won ahead of Danny Oliphant and Con Boyle.

He reported a total of 17 players.


Congratulations to Lindus Edwards, to Danny and Con Boyle.

Hi all,

Yes, managed to successfully defend the title. It was due to sheer luck of course.
I will post the full results in a couple of hours as I have to go out at the moment.

Best wishes,

Lindus.
Hi Lindus,

I think its only considered luck if it happens once :), twice must be surely regarded as skill.

Congratulations,

Shane

Congrats to you Lindus, it's been nearly 30 years since I've seen you. As good of a player as you were then it's no surprise to me that you are winning English championships.

Thank you Eric and Jeff. Yes, about thirty years since we last met Jeff. I recall that time very well when you played and beat Andrew Knapp for the World Youth Championship title at Bristol, England. I can see Andrew now as he played 9-14 with red in every game and 23-18 with white against your 11-15. I posted a copy of a newspaper cutting and a photograph of my own on my site which you have no doubt seen concerning that event. If not I will send you the link. It was also a pleasure for me to meet your uncle John Webster at the International Match in 1989 at Weston-super-Mare. Great memories.
