Newly refurbished courts kept spotlessly clean by Oliver. |
|
| The entries for this season were well down on previous years. This did not lower the standards, with the younger element waiting to take the reigns of the Kent County squash. But not this year as the "old" guard prevailed. | |
| The mens semi-finals were Ben Ford, past holder, beat Jamie Wilde 9/2 9/0 9/1. With second seed John Brewer overcoming Toby Mortimer 9/3 7/9 9/6 9/0. Both defeated players have been past juniors at the Beckenham club. | |
| The final was played in the great sporting traditions of Kent squash, with Ben Ford running out the winner 9/3 9/2 6/9 9/4. | |

 |
| The Womens Championship was won again by Stephanie Brind, previous winner on 8 occasions, overcoming Candy Wilton ( nee Corbett ), also a previous winner, 9/2 9/4 7/9 9/7. | |

| The first round losers in the main competitions went into the Plate competitions, won by Emily Brewer and Tom Woods. | |
