Charity One-Ball final at Nottingham

Sat 7th May, Nottingham

Richard Sanville and Andy Shipley were the only Ashby representatives in the Nottingham regional final of the Charity One-Ball AC competition, contested by 17 players from across the North and Midlands.

Richard was still in contention at lunchtime, having lost only one game at that stage, but he was unable to displace the leader Mark Innes of Nottingham who finished the day unbeaten on 8 wins.

Richard finished the day in fourth place with 5/8 wins (having also lost to the runner-up Cathy Dance of York), and Andy finished on a creditable 2 wins in his first such competition.

An enjoyable day, and the weather was fine too. The competition has raised over £8000 nationally for the mental health charity MIND including £251 by Ashby.
