Guy Smith-Bingham defeated Alex Titchener-Barrett 15/10, 15/6, 11/15, 15/7 to win the KBC Peel Hunt Invitation Singles at the Queens Club. The final was a repeat of their group match, which Smith-Bingham also won by 3 games to 1. These were the only two games that Smith Bingham lost in the five matches that he played.

Surprises had come early in the competition when one of the favourites to win , Ali Robinson was beaten firstly by Rupert Owen-Browne, three games to two and then again by Tim Cockroft by three games to one . He did not play his third match which was to have been against Willie Boone. Boone, meanwhile, rolled back the years with victories over both Cockroft and Owen-Browne.

This left Willie, who had served magnificently in his match against Rupert, as winner of the group, and Rupert, who beat Cockroft in straight games, as runner up. In the other group both Guy and Alex beat Mark Hubbard and David Makey, Guy beating Mark and David easily while Alex came back from two games down to beat Mark 3/2 in the closest match in group B.

After two games of the final, with the score 15/11,15/6 to Guy, it seemed as if Guy was set for a straightforward win. Despite a number of wonderfully athletic rallies, the match had not provided the gallery with classic rackets, both players hitting the ball too much round the walls resulting in a rather untidy match and neither serving particularly well. Although the rackets continued in the same vein, Alex came back from 8/11 down in the third, with the help of five aces to win the game 15/11.
