Bob, thanks for posting these results. Although there was a combined group with U14/16/18 girls and U18 boys, there were in fact individual winners awarded prizes for each of those four age / gender sections. Patrick can confirm their names, and perhaps you could post an updated complete list. Thanks.

Hi Andrew:

I did go to the website, and there were no particulars on those girls who played in the combined group from those girls age groups. I'll ask Patrick.
