Letchworth’s John Noble (picture) reached his first A-Class final at Wrest Park on 8/9 June. In the Semi-Finals, John Noble played extremely well to beat the current Trophy Holder, Ashby’s Tim King (7-5,7-5), while Phyllis Court club-mates Chris Roberts and Roger Goldring fought out a long and very close match which Roberts eventually won (5-7, 7-5, 7-5). The Final, watched by a small but appreciative audience, was a classic between two players on top form: both matching each other with long clearances and impressive hoop running. In the deciding game, Roberts took a 4-1 lead but Noble fought back to level at 5-5, then ran the 11th hoop to take the lead. Noble had a chance to seal victory at the 12th, but Roberts took him to the 13th and final hoop, which he ran successfully at 7.15pm to clinch a fine win (7-4, 5-7, 7-6).
