Nearly all the entries here are British. Half of the first round played today with wins for top seed Clay Crawford, second seed Samm Butler and sixth seed Lewis Roskilly. Tomorrow two members of our under14 team which finished third in the European Summer Cups, Jay Clarke and Sam Ferguson, play their first round matches. Both have to play seeds though - Jay against 4th seed James Elliott and Sam against 7th seed Sebastian Rey
No joy for either of the 98s, well beaten by their seeded opponents, but there is only one non-Brit left

All the seeds progress. Clay stepping down to a Grade 5 really needs to win the title
