Great to have two groups in the Kingston Parks league in this round and even better to see three quarters of matches played too. Thanks for all your efforts both on and off court and we hope to see you next time for more of the same now the longer days and lighter evenings are on their way.

Group Summary:

Siddhartha was determined to improve on his runner up spot from the last round, playing and winning all of his matches to convincingly become the new champ. Adam beat Graham in a "really enjoyable game with some hard fought rallies" to narrowly clinch second place. Kudos to Graham too for playing every match.

Group Summary:

A well contested group two with numerous competitive matches described in the post match comments and lots of enjoyment had too - thanks everyone. James battled to wins in the three matches he played and with bonus points in the bag too he edges into top spot. Brian came very close to upsetting the new champ in a thrilling match "that could have gone either way" and he ultimately finishes only a single point behind James in second.
