Ive just seen the latest National Ranking lists and I have managed to make the top 100 players in England in the Veterans age group (over 40). I am ranked at number 98. This is quite good as it will get me selected for Yorkshire 2nd team in the county championships next season. I should be ranked at No1 in the team which means I will get the tougher matches which I want (I love a challenge). This is the first time I've made the top 100 for 4 years.
National Ranking Lists
This coming weekend I am playing a major Grand prix tournament at Doncaster Dome (about 20 mile from my house). There will be players from all over the country competing and it will be really tough. I'm hoping to get some good results to try lift my ranking even higher.
I will be playing in 4 events Mens Singles, Veterans, and also Bands 2 & 3. The banded event is where you compete against players of similar ranking (these are really open events with everyone having a genuine chance), there are 6 bands altogether with the top players in band one and so on. I am a band three player and I can also play in band two as you are allowed to enter one level above.
I am unsure how I will do because I probably haven't trained enough lately but I played quite well in our club tournament last weekend so you never know.
