A perfect nine for Dodd – Robinson out
GARRY DODD will take maximum points down to Jersey at the end of January for the climax of the annual CI Top 12 tournament, an event he has dominated in recent years.
The current holder came through all nine rounds unscathed at the GTTA Centre last night, finishing off with a straight sets win over Alice Loveridge, his recent conqueror in the Whistlers Open.
Given the depth of quality opposition, to win all nine was a big plus for Dodd, and he will be joined in the sister isle by Josh Butler, Alice Loveridge, Olly Langlois, Josh Stacey and, by the skin of his teeth, Paul Hainsworth.
The big and surprising loser was No. 3 seed Alex Robinson, the Green Trophy player suffering a horror evening and succession of defeats in a brief break from his university studies in Portsmouth.
