Top Of Ghent 2014

On the 18th October, Dorset's Scott Mitchell was once again in action.

This time his travels had taken him to the city of Ghent in Belgium, where he was playing in a tournament aptly named the Top of Ghent.

This is one of a series of competitions held in Europe, where players attempt to gain points that go towards a qualifying place at the Zuiderduin Masters. This televised event is held later in the year in the Netherlands.

It is with great pleasure that I can report that Scott is now the Top of Ghent Champion 2014.

His route to the final is listed below:

• 1st round - Patrick Huss (Luxembourg) 4 - 0
• 2nd round - Chris van den Bergh (Belgium) 4 - 1
• 3rd round - Richard Huizinga (Netherlands) 4 - 0
• 4th round - Gary Stafford (England) 4 - 1
• 5th round - Fabian Roosenbrand (Netherlands) 4 - 1
• Q-final - Ted Hankey (England) 5 - 3
• S-final - Remco van Eijden (Netherlands) 2 - 0 Sets
• Final - Joppe Bakens (Netherlands) 3 - 0 Sets
