Three players ventured out to Wladyslawowo for the Polish Open; Darius Knight, Danny Reed and Chris Doran.
Men’s Singles
The seniors was a tough event for the English players with none of the three making it out of the group stages, despite taking a few Ends Doran lost both of his matches whilst Reed and Knight had one convincing win and one loss a piece, but that was not enough to secure top spot in their groups.
