The pre-tournament favourites were edged out in this hard fought competition as Tom Davey from Hurstpierpoint put in a superb performance to win the joint Sussex under 14/18 tournament with a perfect 6/6. Theo Penty picked up the under 14 title and second place with 5/6, and third place went another under 14 Tom Poulson, pipping both Adam Prescott (under 11), Michael Hamilton and Charlie Linford on the sum of progressive scores.
