  • The league is mixed sex, so men and women play each other

Anton Short

"Thanks for organising everything. I really enjoyed playing in the leagues over the last few years."

Highbury Fields - Tom Johnson

"This is my first time playing in the league and I've really enjoyed it.  Everyone I've played has been very friendly, and all the games have been of an appropriate, well matched standard, so thank you very much!  I'll definitely be signing up for the next league."

Highbury Fields - Rebecca Law

"Just to say that I very much appreciate what you have done for the tennis fanatics in London at a very high standard."

It has been fun joining the league for the last couple of seasons but unfortunately, I won't be able to join any games anymore as I'm leaving London soon. Nevertheless, I've always enjoyed playing tennis at Highbury- in particular the mixed doubles - and will remember this time."

We played in 2 degree fog and Highbury Fields seemed like Sleepy Hollow as the mist swept across the court. It will be interesting to see how the Highbury courts weather the winter. The fog left them damp and pretty slippery, but there were also signs of moss over much of the court. Hopefully the excellent ground staff can keep that under control. "  -- Andre

Group Summary:

This was a busy group with lots of matches played and five close 3 set scorelines, and it was tight at the top too with Carl and Brett both tied on 8 points from 3 wins apiece. Sadly the two hadn't played their head to head yet so instead the title went to Carl as one of Brett's wins was a walkover. Congrats also to Carl and James for battling through "atrocious English weather" and the added hazard of "kids running onto our court" to complete an exciting 3 set tussle!
