the top break of the day went to another Group A player, David
Nichols (Erpingham) who made a run of 145.

Fred Ellis, owner of the Woodside Snooker Centre, won all his games
to top Group B, narrowly defeating Norfolk Junior Champion Gary
Lewis (Norwich) in the deciding heat. The Group C winner was

aggregate scores.
