Scottish National Championships

Gavin RUMGAY collected his 12th national title and Lynda FLAWS her 3rd and her 1st since 2013.

Gavin RUMGAY produced a commanding performance as he secured a record-equalling 12th national singles title at Bell’s Sports Centre Perth. After the dramas of the 2016 final he produced a more relaxed performance this year.

The absence of several leading players (Craig HOWIESON Kenny LINDSAY & Chris MAIN) and an uneven draw meant that there was plenty scope for some surprise results and players reaching further than might normally be expected.

Lynda FLAWS won the women’s singles event as she swept through her final three matches. The performance of young Faye LEGGETT was arguably the standout feature of the event.

Lynda was happy with the way she recovered after being caught slightly cold by Faye in her 1st match of the day and playing ‘far too passively’. Faye’s backhand attack was the dominant feature of her 3-2 win. The loss meant that Lynda had to battle through the tougher side of the draw: having to beat reigning champion Rebecca PLAISTOW (5 7 8) and Gillian EDWARDS.
