This year, apart from a drizzly Wednesday, the tournament was blessed by glorious sunshine, partticularly on the last three days.  The entry was a little lower than in 2008 and the Committee was saddened by the poor entry in several Women's events which had to be decided by round robins because they attracted fewer than eight enties. 
Some 35 highly-ranked overseas players entered, several of whom carried off prizes.  Peter Adrigan (GER) ,holder of the Men's 60 singles title, moved up to 65s and reached the final, but the combination of a virus and the skills of Vittorio Monaco (ITA) saw him suffer his second defeat at Bournemouth.    Ivica Tolic (CRO) was top-seeded in the Men's 40 and duly made his way to the final to meet local favourite, Matt Coombes, who had eased his way to that stage and followed up by crushing Tolic 6-1 6-1 in a hard-hitting, tactical campaign. 
Guido Gualandi (ITA) lived up to his top billing by beating Godfrey Evans in a three-set 55s final and Klein (GER) featured in the 70s final but had to give best to Clive Hutchings who took the title unseeded.  Henri Crutchet (FRA)  was taken to three sets by Ken Bate in the 75s final and Neville Halligan (AUS) won the Men's 85 round robin of four competitors. Nanda Fischer (GER) continued her winning ways at Bournemouth dropping to Jean Porter the only five games she had conceded in the entire 70s event.
