Sussex welcomed players from Berkshire , Surrey and Hampshire making up the 45 players for the day.

Last minute discussions took place on the day between county officials to decide the final prize fund which had been reduced due to a clash with Region 7 club tour where several players were committed to the tour. 

The agreed outcome was for the county to subsidise the fund by £ 100.00 making it a £ 550.00 payout 

Matches commenced at  11.30 and pre match favourite Moray Dolan made the quarter finals beating ex Sussex A team captain Damian Campsey whilst Greg Lewes , Steve Petty and Dominic Ashman had made their presence known with wins over Bobby Terry , Kelly Dahr and Clive Rayson.

Taking confidence from knocking out Morray , Greg started the final by taking the first two frames but had to watch as Steve then took the next five frames in a row to take the match and the title  5 - 2
