The south east regional qualifiers were held at Byng Hall the weekend of the 1st/2nd April. Byng Hall U11 Girls – Alison Webb won her first ever game in competition play against Emily Cheung 11-4 and qualified for Kettering U11 Boys - Following a great run in NCL Matthew Davis made his debut in the regionals, playing in the U11 boys and playing superbly with a great win in his first regional competition. One to watch? U13 Girls - This was a round robin event of 6 players of which Isabel Webb took the prize of regional champion on count back with Saskia Keys taking 2nd spot and Abbie Hurley taking third. This was a competitive group with each player losing one singles match. Count back proved critical with Isabel loosing fewer legs. U13 Boys – Noah Csillag Featherstone qualified for the semi-final and secured in the process 4th spot and qualification. Great play, and very competitive. Cadet Girls – Isabel Webb managed to secure a 11-6 first game against Scarlet O’Neil but fell away in the remaining legs to lose 3.1. Isabel secured a victory over Saskia Keys which was a revenge for loosing on Saturday. She finished 3rd in her group Nicola Dawson was the star of the show defeating a very experienced Joelle Bennett 3-2 on her way to the semi-final spot losing to Scarlet O’Neil in 3 tight games, Nicola went on to secure 3rd in the Junior event.
