bspa and bwin have teamed up this summer and have arranged a number of events which are streamed live and facilitate live betting on the bwin website. format is 2groups of 4 with the top from each group to go through to a final.

in the 1st event i played aarron frankcomb of austrailia and lost 11-9, 9 and 9. next up was chris simpson world ranked 43 and i won 13-11 16-14 11-4. first 2 games could’ve went wither way bt once i got a 2 game lead i new he would struggle to come back. last up i played joel hinds and won in a tight 4 setter. 

in the 2nd event i played robbi temple of england forst and went 2-1 up but unfortunatly couldnt capitilise on that and last 11-7 in the 5th. next up was veteran steve meads this time to go 2-1 down only to pull it back and take the 5th 11-0! again last up was joel hinds and again it proved to be a very hard 4 setter with me taking the last set 16-14 and with it the match.

in between all that iv started a 10 week training programme to get me ready for the season beginning late august.
