Spoke to Neil briefly before doubles - won't go in to glorious details, but he has a stomach bug. Disappointing after last week but at least it's that he's ill rather than playing badly. Will now have to try and stop him eating for 2 days now, which will not be easy!!

Big shame, awful timing, but at least it's only a temporary setback.
QF: Neil Pauffley & Keelan Oakley CR 2416 (1079+1337) vs (2) Sam Barry & Filip Peliwo (IRL/CAN) CR 597 (245+552)
Barry & Peliwo are lucky boys: not only did they both win their respective L16 singles matches, but they were given a walkover against Neil & Keelan in the doubles, no doubt because the bug with which the former has gone down made it impossible for him to carry on. Hope he gets well soon.
Neil pulled out of dubs as not feeling well. Just got back to Derby and now sat at Radio Derbh waiting for him to go on the air at 6.40pm. Thanks to Topemp!
