The fifth staging of the Hunts 2 Star Open was a success recently.

Talents from across the country served up plenty of excitement on the tables of St Ives.

The event featured two days of tough competition in junior and senior events.

St Neots player Harry Boston (12) was the pick of locals on show in the junior categories as he enjoyed a good run in the Under 13 competition.

Other locals involved were Arjun Basra (16), Louis Roper-Gibbs (14) and the sibling duo of Ben (13) and Emily Sheldrake (7).

And on the second day of competition, it was the turn of senior players to take to the tables.

Northants star Chris Doran, ranked seventh in England, triumphed in the Men’s Singles to regain a title he won five years ago. He also took the Men’s Band 1 crown as well.

The tournament was sponsored by Alconbury Weald and Top Spin Sports.

Victoria Parchment of Alconbury Weald and deputy mayor of St Ives, Cllr Phil Pope, attended both days to present prizes.
