Correction to our "Belated Congratulations" item below.
Information recently received by Email tells me that I mistakenly reported that Chris Wright was the youngest winner of the Dinas Powis Club Championship. Not so.. the youngest player to win the Club Championship was Jeff Webley back in 1989 - aged 16. Apologies first of all to Jeff and also to Chris for taking this accolade from him so cruelly.
Incidently Jeff is also the youngest player to win the Welsh Open Singles Championship, which he won in 1992 aged 19 - unless you can tell me different....
