Collapse AllKirklees Singles - Round 11 | Thursday 4 October 2018 to Wednesday 28 November 2018 (Midpoint: Wednesday 31 October 2018)

A competitive Autumn round in Greenhead Park, where despite some "challenging conditions" there were still many matches played throughout the three groups. Thanks to everyone who took part for your efforts and we hope to see you again in the new year.

Group Summary:

A round of applause to Bernie who showed fine form to notch up four wins out of five to take the group one title at the first time of asking. Now Robert was too strong for the new champ in their head to head so what might have happened had he played a few more? Andrew defeated James in the three set thriller of the round and added two further wins to his tally to climb into second.

Group Summary:

Peter and Gary matched each other stride for stride on court to make it a two horse race for the title. The match between the two was a memorable top of the table clash, where Peter fought back from a set down to clinch a 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory. Crucially Peter also perfected his scheduling skills and these bonus points see him move clear into the number one spot. Well done to Younes too who beat the new champ in an incredibly close three set contest.
