A five star performance from Andy who finishes the round with a 100% winning record from his five matches to clinch the crown. However in a competitive group such as this, it was no easy ride for Andy with every match proving to be tricky encounter.

Andy came back from 3-1 to win the first set 6-3. The scrappy play continued into the second set with Andy's volleying next to poor and Ian having too many double faults. In the end Andy was a little more consistent. It was actually perfect weather for tennis - shame the tennis was far from perfect! Thanks for the game Ian." -- Andy

- "It looked initially has though I may have a reasonable easy ride...but Hugh decided to put a stop to that theory! In the second set the game was much much closer in fact Hugh had sights on making it a comfortable second set for him at 5 - 2 up. I had to dig deep and take a few chances to bring it level at 5 - 5 before taking the second set and the game. The weather was not great with rain pouring down towards the end of the first set. The court had it challenges as well - but it was the same for both players. Hugh moved around the court really well and his defensive play was difficult to play against. It was a thoroughly enjoyable game despite us both looking like drowned rats with some good tennis. Hugh was a very fair player too. Andy" -- Andy

- "It is with great thanks Rob moved the time for this match to make it happen. A lovely warm afternoon with a very deceptive cross court wind which impacted greatly high ball lobs. Rob for a big man showed wonderful movement on the court and really used his top spin to good effect. Every shot was won by Rob at the net with great accuracy. there were a good number of toe to toe rallies which both players enjoyed and this allowed the game to be played at a very quick pace. It took most of the first set for Rob to get his serve firing on all 4 cylinders and when it started rolling it was a beast of a shot coming over the net which Adam had to wrestle with time and again. This was the most creative opponent I have played this year.Well done Rob" -- Adam

It showed he was rusty and did not show his true colours until the 2nd set when everything clicked and some long fast rallies flowed between both players. Once Osa grasped his cross court fore hand he was deadly and finishing was a wonder to watch. The difference that turned the match seemed to be the battle of the back hand shots which consistency seemed to be on Adam's side.

Player Comments:
- "We played at Eaton Park in damp conditions on the recently repainted courts where extremely slippery conditions made for the most bizarre match I’ve played. I managed to race to a 4-0 lead as I coped better with the slippery conditions than Howard. As it was impossible to change direction and Howard was starting to come back into the match, I decided to play the rest of the match bare foot! Howard eventually did the same. Both of us had a really enjoyable match and in the end it was simply my better consistency which won through in the unusual circumstances. Good luck with you remaining matches Howard." -- Andrew

Group Summary:
A round of applause to Liz who was involved in two "gruelling" encounters with Linda and Harry in this round - a great effort. Stuart may have taken a break from the league but this didn't seem to effect his tennis, as he recorded a fantastic five wins to secure his second straight group win. Runner up Jerome was determined to make Stuart earn his crown, fighting hard in their head to head to force a third set decider. Well played all.

Player Comments:
- "Gruelling match on a hot day - good job we started early. For me it was 'groundstroke day' all over again: I couldn't play a decent groundstroke for the life of me. So the match was Liz's decent tennis against my spoiling sliced safety shots dropped really short. It was almost the only shot I could manage on the day. Even when I came in to the net Liz played a succession of magnificent passing shots and awkward lobs. I had to ignore my sense of shame at playing such ugly tennis and be glad it was just enough to grind out the result. Many thanks Liz. Sorry again for the earlier 'no-show'." -- Harry

- "This was the longest and most gruelling match I’ve ever played in this league! Matches against Linda are always close and this was no exception. She had two match points in the second set but I managed to steal the points and set back. We played a championship tiebreak for the 3rd set as it was so hot and we’d been playing so long. Couldn’t work out how to record this on the website though" -- Liz
Reveal CommentHarry Seddon bt Linda May (Apr 21) 6-4, 7-5
Player Comments:
- "This was an enjoyable, close game on a warm bright day. We were probably both guilty of playing rather too many short, 'cagy' shots and the momentum alternated several times throughout. I edged the first set but Linda cleverly adapted her tactics and shot selection as the match progressed (I'm not saying how!) to lead 4-1 in the second. Once again, though, the momentum shifted and I scraped through in just over the two hours. Thanks Linda." -- Harry
Group Summary:
Every match was played, nearly all bonus points earned and many generous comments were submitted in this excellent group - thanks everyone. Jon was the dominant force, securing a clean sweep of wins to move into first place. Runner up Mike was hot on Jon's heels throughout, and with "long rallies on every point and "lots of deuces" in their head to head it was a close call for who would walk away with the victory.

We started strongly and took the first set to 3 with dominating net play from Dawn, though trying to play volleys while lying under the net turned out to be a less successful approach...

Player Comments:
- "The score does not reflect how close the game could have been. To be fair Jordan and Thomas never got the run of the game and one too many double faults made it equally difficult. Jordan''s first serve did cause problems when in but this was not often enough to have an impact. Mary played solid from the byline allowing Andy to pick up any loose shots at the net. Quite a few games went to deuce but the run of the game was with us today which helped keep Jordan and Thomas under pressure. On top of all that there was an annoying child playing tennis on the other court being being loud which was quite offputting at times. Jordan and Thomas apparently were on the booze the night before which I am sure helped us too. Thanks for the game guys." -- Andy
