CI contingent glad for Le Ber's win
MATT LE BER'S heroic win over Welsh champion Jason Greenslade, the world number 14, who was hotly tipped to win the British men's singles title, certainly salvaged pride for the Channel Islands in the mid-Wales spa town of Llandrindod Wells.

When Le Ber came off the green, he was painfully aware that his Guernsey team-mates had fallen at the first hurdle in pairs, triples and junior singles – and that Jersey's representatives had all failed to get beyond their first games.
And he admitted that it had been gratifying to get support from so many Channel Islanders – from both islands – during his clash with the local hero.
The lead changed hands continually before Le Ber got over the line 21-19, and the popular Welshman was quick to offer his congratulations with an outstretched hand.
