“The forecast looks good,” organising secretary Bill Whittington said. “Hopefully the sun will be shining when the tournament gets underway. We’re pretty happy with entry numbers considering other events have struggled somewhat this year.”

If all goes to plan and the weather does hold up, finals’ day next weekend will consist of the semi-finals from each discipline at 9am followed by the finals at 2pm.
