There was no lack of excitement as the knock-out stages of the Power Rosenblum and the McConnell continued yesterday. We are down to the last eight in the former, whilst the Women and the Seniors have reached the semi-final stage. Several matches ebbed and flowed and went right down to the wire. The big shock in the Power Rosenblum was the defeat of the top-seeded NICKELL team from USA to ATTANASIO from Italy.

At the same time the Open and Women's Pairs got under way, and the Seniors Teams completed its qualifying stage. The four teams to make the knock-outs includes FREED (USA) several of whom won the Seniors Championship last year in Paris.
