Collapse AllOxford Doubles - Round 6 | Thursday 15 March 2018 to Wednesday 23 May 2018 (Midpoint: Wednesday 18 April 2018)

A good round to get the doubles league in Oxford underway in 2018. There was an excellent turnout on the courts and many competitive games too. Thanks for all your efforts and the countless generous comments that accompanied the match scores. We hope you enjoyed it and look forward to seeing you all next time.

Group Summary:

A five star performance from James & Frankie sees them take the group crown on an impressive debut - well played. Steve & Tsvetan certainly got lots of practice in in this round with three of their five matches going the distance, and they are rewarded for their efforts and fine tennis with second place. Credit to Luke and Chrissie too who showed great commitment to get on court for all of their matches.
