Group Summary:
Nearly half of all the matches played went the distance in a very well contested group two -great effort everyone. It was tight at the top too with only one point separating positions one to three. Front runners Kingsley and Ryan both dug deep to record five wins and it is their head to head that ultimately determines who is crowned the new champ. Now Ryan battled to the victory, but the set Kingsley won gives him the extra point he needs to sneak into the lead. Ryan does pip Puranjay to the silver with another "tough" three set win.

Group Summary:
There were numerous friendly comments accompanying the scores in group three with lots of "running" a common feature of the matches described. Matt made his mark on his debut, notching up a full house of wins without dropping a set to take the title in style - great stuff. Adnan and Grant tied on points in the race for second, so the destination of the silver all comes down to their head to head. In a match with some "really close games" it was Adnan who stepped it up a gear to take the honours this time.
