Collapse AllFinsbury Park Singles - Round 48 | Thursday 9 January 2020 to Wednesday 4 March 2020 (Midpoint: Wednesday 5 February 2020)

A good round for the newly titled Finsbury Park league on the refurbished courts. 60% of all possible matches were played which, given the weather, is a not at all bad. Well done all.

Group Summary:

Not for the first time in our leagues, the runner up (Uche) beat the group winner (Mark) but Mark played one more match, picked up an extra point, and just edged it to the top of group! Great to see such a tight group, and so many matches played with many a three set thriller!

Group Summary:

There was fantastic commitment from this group with a very high percentage of matches played and friendly, generous commentaries throughout - well done group two. Zac's comments about shots ranging from the 'sublime to the ridiculous' certainly struck a chord, but he did enough good shots to finish at the top of the group. Runner up Edgar gets bragging rights for winning their head to head. Congrats to both.

Thanks for the game Will, I have no doubt our next match will be a closer contest."  -- Zac

Group Summary:

Well done Louise, the new champ of group three. It was a knife edge result as runner up Pauls won their head to head and they both finished with 4 wins, 1 loss and bonus points. What made the difference was Louis attempting one more match and crucially winning a set! As always, the more matches you play, the better your chances of winning. Good to see so many matches played here but a shame Tom didn't get underway. Please let us know if we can help another time.
