A 6-4 win for Windsor Park over Swanton Morley E gave them victory in the final, played on 24th April.

The family side were on top form, racing to a winning lead, Matt’s win over Derek Sidgwick giving them the title. Swanton then restored some respectability to the score taking the last 4 games.

It was a match played in the best competitive spirit, both teams playing above their usual game. This resulted in some spectacular rallies and nail-biting conclusions to games. The handicapping committee are to be congratulated in their assessment of individual players.

Swanton Morley H lost to Windsor Park 4-6.
This match proved to be a fitting climax to a highly enjoyable season for both teams. The high standard of play had the spectators running out of superlatives and was such that the result seemed almost secondary. But not quite, especially for Windsor Park who shaded the match 6-4. Even the spate of nets and edges were equally shared!! Special mention should be made of Simon Denton, whose maximum included two cliff-hangers against the differing styles of Neil Powell and Steve Westbury, both games ending in five sets, 15-13 and 17-15 respectively. The Denton’s have been a revelation this season. Dad Simon and brothers Matt and Phil are a credit to their family and to the league. Well done to them.

Fees are now due, to be sent to Paul Brown (address in handbook) a.s.a.p.

Thanks

The following fixtures are outstanding in Division 2. If they have been played please could you send me the results card, or as much detail as you can.

If not played please let me know when these games will be played, and also make sure the 3 points for playing on time is recorded correctly (i.e. the team calling off doesn't get them):

Please note that Conservatives' remaining fixtures have been removed from the list as they have withdrawn from the League.

Thanks, Phil

Bintree B lost to Swanton Morley D 3-7.
Interesting happenings on Wednesday at Bintree with Bintree B playing Swanton D twice! Bintree put out 2 distinct trios (as previously agreed with Steve Sheldrake), but Swanton D's star man (DA) was carrying an injury, and could only participate in 1 of the matches. Heroics though from Chris Woods, playing a doubles & 6 singles a day after being bedridden with flu. All in all each team won a match 12-6, so in the end probably everyone was happy (then again....maybe not...)
