Ross Montgomery claimed victory in the Dutch Open, although
there was some controversy in his deciding leg victory over
Scott Waites in the final.
Montgomery and Waites had traded blow for blow throughout the
match, but when Ross landed the winning double there were some
questions as to his and the referee’s maths. In the end though the
result stood and Montgomery completed the perfect preparation for
the World Trophy as he took the first floor event of 2014 in style.
In the ladies tournament Aileen de Graaf overcame Anastasia
Dobromyslova to clinch victory despite being nearly six months
pregnant.
Meanwhile there were also wins for Scott Mitchell and Richie George,
who claimed the mens’ pairs tournament, and Anastasia Dobromyslova
and Lorraine Winstanley who claimed the ladies pairs.
The Dutch also continue to produce some great young talent, and it was
Mike van Duivenboden who secured victory in the juniors tournament,
although Sharon Jansen could only finish second to Michelle Lindhardt
of Denmark in the girls event.
