03/04/17: Guy & Grant Williams regained the Aberconway Cup at Eton with a thrilling three game victory in the final against close rivals and defending champions Mike & Chris Hughes.

There was once again a strong turnout this year under the new tournament management of Chris Hughes and lots of excellent Fives played during the course of the day. The final saw familiar foes up against each other, the Hughes and Williams clans having largely dominated this competition for the last ten years, and this time Grant and Guy Williams managed to turn the tables after defeats in the last two finals, winning the deciding game of an extremely close match 12-10 to take the trophy.

The Mike Fenn Plate, now in its second year, was won by RGS High Wycombe pair Nathan & Colin Turnbull, who defeated Westway's Noah & James Caplin in the final.
