The Open (shortmat) 2023

January saw the annual Boughton Open short mat competition which was again kindly sponsored by local firm UK drains. You cannot believe the amount of effort our volunteers put in to this event, from the organising administration, catering, setting up and breaking down as well as all the work to do on site each day, raffles, cooking, washing up, scoring, cleaning, moving mats, umpiring and more. We thank everyone who gave up their time to assist with this year’s event.

The Pairs winners on Saturday were from Detling, Alan and Trish Ellis. The runners up were Boughton’s own Brian May and Liz Chapman. Well done to them.

The triples winners on Sunday were from Harrietsham, Brian Hall, De Beresford and Ken Leach The runners up were from Chilham, Trevor and Doreen Pilbeam and Martin Ingram.
