Grundy Park I and current Premier Division champions Allenburys I have both started well. Sam Flaum is still
unbeaten in fifteen after helping Grundy Park I defeat Pramastars I and HRC I, 10-0 and 8-2 respectively. Allenburys I
are only three points behind, Mike Merryweather having exactly the same record as Sam. Grundy Park II are third, just
ahead of Allenburys II after the two sides drew 5-5. In a 6-4 win at Cheshunt II, Brian Day of Allenburys II won all
his singles but partnering Dave Ling lost the doubles to James Pugh and Geoff Jeffries in five, losing the first set 14-12
and the decider by a score from the past, 21-19! Last season’s Divison 1 champions, Pramastars I are finding it hard
going with just three points after four matches. In Division 1, two points separate four teams, HRC II just two points ahead of Pramastars II, Grundy Park III and Allenburys III. Matches between the four show how close the division is, in the head-to-head matches none of the teams have scored more than six in an evening. Andy Reeve won all three singles for Allenburys III ina 5-5 draw with Pramastars II. Wayne Boddy did the same as Pramastars II beat HRC II 6-4, as did Jenny Pomfrett as HRC II won 6-4 at Allenburys III. Although Grundy Park III won 7-3 at St Andrews to remain equal second, two points behind HRC II, Harbinder Singh lost his unbeaten record, John Hughes coming from two sets down to win 3-2, one of his three wins on the night. Honours were even between the two new teams as Bruce, Ian and Janette McAllister of Furneux Pelham drew 5-5 at Stanstead Abbotts, Ian winning all three. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
