Seeded 4th, Bourchier cruised to the semi finals dropping one game in his first two matches before facing local coach and no.1 seed Jeff Speer. In a fiercly fought and fiery encounter, Bourchier mannaged to get the momentum in the final set taking the match 3-6 6-1 6-3 and setting up a final against Launceston’s James Bolzonello.
