STOP PRESS The senior pair from Blundell’s, Mitchell and Talbot, did the double once more, winning the Singles and Doubles as they had done last year at Oundle. The substantial squad from Alleyn’s dominated the three younger categories, winning Singles and Doubles titles at U16, U14 and U13. Congratulations go to Barrow and Dunkley for their efforts in the U18 contests, to the lone player from Bloxham who picked up the 3rd place in the U16 Singles, and to the young players from Eastbourne, Stamford and Marlborough who defied the onslaught of players from South East London to pick up medals and plates in both Singles and Doubles.
