Limpsfield Racketball Open 2015 Report


A Grade

Group A kicked off with Ted against Lee in a quick fire match resulting in Ted taking the win. Teds next match proved to be a tighter one against Adam, showing strong perseverance Ted just managed to come out on top.

Group B was a very close affair with all players scoring two points each. This took things right down to the wire and Dan Soar came out on top on points difference.

The final saw some great racketball skills with Ted’s natural flair taking him through for the win to claim the Limpsfield A grade title.


B Grade

There were three hotly contested groups in the B grade. Mike English showed his experience in group A and made his way through to the final group although James McLean was not too far behind. In group B Nic Barnes just lost out in getting through to the final group by 1 point to Wayne Scott who kept his composure and claimed his spot. In group C Ian Scanlan, a series regular, stormed through to the final group.

This left a formidable three finalists to play it out in a round robin for the win. Ian stamped his authority and took the win with Wayne Scott coming in second.

Womens

Group A saw Zoe executed a perfect performance with three strong wins all 2-0 to take the first spot in the final. Likewise a determined Sam Mueller took the win in group B to claim her spot in the final. With both finalists fired up and keen for the win it looked like it was going to shape up to into an epic final. It did. Both players put in a top performance with a high paced game moving the ball around the court well. In the end it was Zoe who just came out on top and took the win to claim the Limpsfield Womens Title.


Over 40s

The 40s saw a strong group of five players battling out in a round robin for the title. Both Rob Lewis and Marc Thornley proved to be the dominant players and where the ultimate showdown would come. After two intense games between Marc and Rob the score was even bringing the title right down to the wire with everything resting on the last match. It was close all the way through right to the end with Marc easing out Rob to take the win and the group by just one point difference.


Picture
Over 50s

A large over 50s field with great talent and depth was always going to be a challenge for all players involved. With 4 groups, semi final and final the rout to the final would be tough for all players. After the first round battles the semi finalist matched were Mark vs Lee and Darren vs Trevor. Both matches were won 2-0 with Mark beating Lee and Darren beating Trevor. Ultimately it was Darren that managed to last the distance and he took the 50s win 2-0 with a great performance.

Over 60s

In the 60s there were two groups moving though to a final. Both groups were stormed by their winners without dropping any games along the way. Graham Bonnett won group A and Ian Graham won group B to set up a great final. After two awesome games Ian Graham came out on top to take the 60s title 2-0.

Limpsfield Racketball Open Introduction

Picture
Limpsfield will again be hosting the first UK-Racketball event of the year in the South of the country. This will be the fourth year in a row that the Series has come to Limpsfield and there is a reason why we keep coming back, a lovely club.
Last year saw over 80 players taking part and the club finished second on the poll of our most liked club in 2013.  
With a proactive committee and thriving Racketball section, the event in May is eagerly anticipated.
Limpsfield local players picked up several home titles at last year’s event and it became known as the ‘Maker of Series Champions’; Ted Jeal opened his account at this event on the way to becoming 2013 UK-Racketball Series Champion and winning the Series ever since.

Grades

Picture
It is important to remember that UK-Racketball Series events are designed to be inclusive. Although the A grade does attract the best racketball players in the country the events really are for players of all ages and abilities. We have never had a competitor who felt they were not good enough for an event in which they have taken part.

A Grade – County, national or good club player
B Grade – Regular club player
Women’s – All ages and abilities, these events have a great range of players which makes for a fun and competitive day.
Over 40’s – For players over the age of 40 
Over 50’s - For players over the age of 50 
Over 60’s – For players over the age of 60
Beginner – This is for players who have recently started racketball. Players who have previously played squash to a high level and have now started playing racketball may be better off in the A or B grade. To maintain a fun atmosphere for this grade, only trophies will be awarded to the winners however there will also be a reduced entry fee of just £10.

If you are unsure which category to enter please feel free to contact Mark Fuller directly on 07846 067505 or email us at info@uk-racketball.com and we will be happy to advise you.

If entries to a category are not sufficient grades may be merged, however all participants will always be informed in advance and will have a choice if they would still like to play, this has never happened in the last three years.
