Nick Matthew showed that his fine play on display at the Tournament of Champions in New York was no fluke, as he beat James Willstrop and Adrian Grant in succession to win the British National Title. Sadly, Lee Beachill, in his final appearance, lost in the second round.

In the women's championship, Jenny Duncalf defeated her close rival Alison Waters, as well as Madeline Perry in the semis, for the win.
