Collapse AllHolland Park and KMP Singles - Round 23 | Thursday 19 January 2017 to Wednesday 15 March 2017 (Midpoint: Wednesday 15 February 2017)
Despite a couple of exceptions this was overall a largely competitive round, with plenty of matches played too. Round of applause for the new group champions and hope to see you again next time!
Group Summary:
Lots of matches played here with both Fergal and Damien managing to get in all 7. It was a close call for the top spot, with both Fergal and Kevin racking up 5 wins each with bonus points - and although Kevin came out top in their head to head, Fergal managed to take a set, giving him the point he needed to just edge ahead. Well played! Kudos to Daniel too, who managed to push both players into 3 set territory.

Having moved up from group 4, Geoffrey almost managed to top group 3 too with 5 straight wins - were it not for Paul, who managed the same amount, except with bonus points on top! Just goes to show how they can make all the difference when it's neck and neck. Well played all.
