Due to the National Championships being held next weekend there will be no Friday photos, so there will be a fortnight for replies – and also give the umpires some food for thought at the Nationals.
Can you help fill the blanks?

Thank you to all who have provided information on last week’s article.
The event for all five photographs was the National Championships, 16th-17th March 1999, held at Bath Sports and Leisure Centre.
As there are very few known results from the 1999 National Championships, if anyone can provide any results they would be much appreciated.
