Club Championship 2004–05

Billy Grewal secured the 2004–05 championship after drawing with Ian Kingston in the final round. Having played all four of his closest challengers, it’s a very well deserved victory. David Levens edged out John Collins for second place on tie break.

The U16 title goes to Daniel Lin on tie break ahead of Eric Williamson.

Toby Thurgood won the U11 championship on tie break ahead of Reece Needham.
