Oundle School
Saturday/Sunday, 24-25 January 2026
STOP PRESS Organiser Cameron Low did the double at this year’s British Universities Championships, winning the Singles against Gwydion Wiseman in the final, then picking up the Doubles title with his partner from Bristol University, Theo Vernacchio, at the expense of Warwick’s Patrick Harrison & Isaac Weaver. Theo and Cameron thus did a second double, having won the National U25 Doubles title in October 2025.
Oxford also completed a double, with Kaito Bremner winning the Singles Plate against Yarin Negyal from Warwick University, then pairing with Julian Hanton in the Doubles Plate to beat Will Bishop & Jeremy Hughes from Bristol.
Unfortunately, due to his involvement in a road traffic accident on his way to Oundle, the General Secretary was unable to deliver the trophies in his care, hence the absence of medals, cups, plates and bowl from the photographs this year.
