Barry McKenzie, the defending champion, represented Bowdon at the NWF Millennium AC Handicap tournament, which was held this year at Pendle.
Unfortunately Barry only won two of his five games, but reported that he had enjoyed the tournament. The lawns were in good condition and whilst Barry felt he played quite well, the matches were closely fought.
The eventual winner was Dave Williamson (22) from Crake Valley, with Paul Dowdall (Pendle) in second place, whilst third place went to Tony Phillips (Bury).
