Although there was plenty of action on the table, this tournament may be mostly remembered where the 9 year old strong hand hold record was broken by not 1 but 2 people. First Jay Smith of Yarmouth smashed the record with a hold time of 1 minute 39.35 seconds then Randy Bayers of Ship Harbour fell just short of that mark with a time of 1.37.36.

In the overall Strong Hand Hold Standings Will Sarty has taken the lead with a total time of 2.56.30 , followed by Randy Bayers (2.56.30) and Mark MacPhail (2.43.84).

There were plenty of new faces at this event. Many travelled several hours to get there but appeared that the travel was well worth their time. There were also several exciting challenge matches with the most exciting being the left hand lightweight battle between

Tim Wrigley and Rejean Allain.
