All players are GBR and/or unranked unless stated:
QR1: Alistair Felton v (WC) Marc Beckles (BAR) QR1: David O'Leary v Jonathan Brooklyn QR1: Edward Jones v Thomas Gill QR1: (WC) Dominic Ross-Hurst v Oliver Evans QR1: Chris Priddle v Ben Dunbar QR1: Burnham Arlidge v Harri Heliovaara (FIN) QR1: Alexander Bull v Raahil Dhruva (IND) QR1: Dicken Chaplin v Alastair Barnes QR1: Pierre Clad v Colin O'Brien (IRL) QR1: Orion Modebe v Mark Bowtell (IRL) QR1: Elliot Mould v Ramon Gonzalez (ESP) QR1: Rogan Egerton v Mark Verryth (AUS) QR1: Peter Francis v Jagdev Sagoo
QR2: Christopher Helliar v Felton or Beckles - in section with (q1) Rohan Gajjar (IND) WR 834 QR2: (q2/WC) Daniel Cox WR 939 v Daniel Dawson QR2: O'Leary or Brooklyn v Cory Phillips (AUS) QR2: (q3) Tim Hewitt v Ben Pritchard QR2: Jones or Gill v (q10) G Closa-Puncernau (ESP) WR 1485 QR2: (q4) Matthew Illingworth WR 1054 v Ross-Hurst or Evans QR2: (q14) George Coupland WR 1662 v Priddle or Dunbar QR2: (q5) Daniel Smethurst WR 1204 v Arlidge or Helivaara QR2: Bull or Dhruva v (q13) Robert Phillips (AUS) WR 1662 QR2: (q6) Joshua Milton WR 1257 v Chaplin or Barnes QR2: (q9) Andrew Fitzpatrick WR 1447 v Clad or O'Brien QR2: (q7) Sean Thornley WR 1259 v Modebe or Bowtell QR2: Mould or Gonzalez v (q12) K Muzalewski (POL) WR 1572 QR2: Egerton or Verryth v (q8) Pedro Sousa (POR) WR 1304 QR2: (q11) Matthew Bright WR 1485 v Francis or Sagoo
Ward, Seator, Kasiri & Skupski have definite DAs and it is anyone's guess who will get the WCs, though Morgan Phillips and Jamie Feaver (whom I guess won the British Tour event, since the other finalist Illingworth is in the Q draw) seem like shoe-ins, surely.
ForeverDelayed - with a draw like that, it's a pity you weren't able to enter!

I've been struggling with a bruised hand recently so probably wouldn't have been able to play anywhere near my best with it and so would have probably got completely thrashed anyway.
But I did make an effort to play this event, although a late one. After picking up a racquet and having a brief knock-about on a court this afternoon I decided that it was probably okay enough to give the event a go and so tried to sign-in by phone, but from 3pm onwards no-one answered any of the phone numbers that are listed as contacts, and there was no answer from the place where the event is taking place, so obviously couldn't sign-in.
Well Jag Sagoo still hasn't had a wildcard after winning the Corby British Tour, but I think he's pretty much a shoe in to get through them first 2 rounds of qualifying.

I presume it has been raining; Im in Bristol and we had an absolutely torrential downpour around mid-afternoon, so its more than possible that Bournemouth was hit by similar weather.
It's been trying to rain all day here in Eastbourne, while back home in Devon it's rained for a lot of the day, so somewhere in between that will be our Bournemouth weather
The score in the Cox match was even weirder than that - 6-0s instead of the 6-1s. Anyway, here are all the completed results, suspended scores and possible FQR pairings. (phew!)
All players are GBR and/or unranked unless stated:
QR1: Alistair Felton beat (WC) Marc Beckles (BAR) by 2 & 1 QR1: Jonathan Brooklyn beat David O'Leary by 2-6 6-3 6-3 QR1: Edward Jones beat Thomas Gill by 3 & 0 QR1: (WC) Dominic Ross-Hurst beat Oliver Evans by 4-6 6-3 6-3 QR1: Chris Priddle beat Ben Dunbar by 2 & 3 QR1: Burnham Arlidge lost to Harri Heliovaara (FIN) by 1 & 0 (wonder what happened to Burnham's good form?) QR1: Alexander Bull beat Raahil Dhruva (IND) by 3 & 2 QR1: Alastair Barnes beat Dicken Chaplin by 1 & 4 QR1: Pierre Clad lost to Colin O'Brien (IRL) by 0 & 1 QR1: Orion Modebe lost to Mark Bowtell (IRL) by 2 & 4 QR1: Elliot Mould lost to Ramon Gonzalez (ESP) by 2 & 2 QR1: Rogan Egerton lost to Mark Verryth (AUS) by 6-4 6-7(1) 6-1 QR1: Jagdev Sagoo beat Peter Francis by 1 & 4
QR2: Alistair Felton leads Christopher Helliar by 6-0 1-0 QR2: (q2/WC) Daniel Cox WR 939 beat Daniel Dawson by 6-0 3-6(!) 6-0 QR2: Jonathan Brooklyn v Cory Phillips (AUS) - yet to start QR2: (q3) Tim Hewitt beat Ben Pritchard by 3 & 4 QR2: Edward Jones lost to (q10) G Closa-Puncernau (ESP) WR 1485 by 2 & 3 QR2: (q4) Matthew Illingworth WR 1054 v Dominic Ross-Hurst - yet to start QR2: (q14) George Coupland WR 1662 v Chris Priddle - yet to start QR2: (q5) Daniel Smethurst WR 1204 beat Harri Heliovaara (FIN) by 4 & 1 QR2: Alexander Bull lost to (q13) Robert Phillips (AUS) WR 1662 by 2 & 1 QR2: (q6) Joshua Milton WR 1257 beat Alastair Barnes by 4 & 5 QR2: (q9) Andrew Fitzpatrick WR 1447 leads Colin O'Brien (IRL) by 5-3 QR2: (q7) Sean Thornley WR 1259 trails Mark Bowtell (IRL) by 1-2 QR2: Mark Verryth v (q8) Pedro Sousa (POR) WR 1304 - yet to start QR2: (q11) Matthew Bright WR 1485 trails Jagdev Sagoo by 1-2
FQR: Felton or Helliar v (q1) Rohan Gajjar (IND) WR 834 FQR: (q2/WC) Daniel Cox WR 939 v Brooklyn or Phillips (AUS) FQR: (q3) Tim Hewitt v (q10) G Closa-Puncernau (ESP) WR 1485 FQR: (q4) Illingworth or Ross-Hurst v (q14) Coupland or Priddle FQR: (q5) Daniel Smethurst WR 1204 v (q13) Robert Phillips (AUS) WR 1662 FQR: (q6) Joshua Milton WR 1257 v (q9) Fitzpatrick or O'Brien (IRL) FQR: (q7) Thornley or Bowtell v (q12) Muzalewski (POL) or Gonzalez (ESP) FQR: (q11) Bright or Sagoo v (q8) Sousa (POR) or Verryth (AUS)
So, there will be GB interest in all of the FQR matches and a guaranteed qualifier from section 4.
Jamie Feaver won the British Tour event in Bournemouth (where the top seed was Edward Seator), beating Illingworth, so I'm going to be even more surprised now if he and Morgan Phillips don't get WCs.
GB top 25 table about to be updated.
