An international line-up of 27 pairs of players from the Algarve, the UK, Ireland, Holland and Canada competed in the competition and the standard of bowling seems to improve year on year. Following an initial round-robin stage the bowlers were streamed into two groups for the knock-out stages.


One group continued in the main Tournament won by Irish bowlers David Doyle and Paul Gartland, while the other bowlers entered the subsidiary Plate won by Algarve bowlers Linus Muirhead and Carla Kenney. The weather throughout was great and the bowlers enjoyed the bowling and also the social side of the Tournament.
