In a tournament where doubles partners are drawn from a hat and handicapped accordingly, Foss and Finn were defeated in the initial group stages by Paul Hainsworth and Cheryl Wingrave, 21-7, 12-21, 21-15. Despite this, they still proceeded through to the knockout stages where they first beat Lawrence Stacey and Brian Le Cras in the quarter final 2-1, then Josh Stacey and Rosemary Powell in the semi final by 2 games to 0. In the other semi final Martin and Cave saw off Ian Fitchet and Mike Ingrouille by the same scoreline. The final was a close affair as Martin and Cave sought to protect their 9 point handicap advantage, but Finn and Foss showed good consistency and a smattering of winners to seal the title 21-14, 22-20 |
