Division Two
Its all square in Saracens derby
It was derby week in Division Two for most teams as Saracens, Smiths and Cheltenham all battled against their fellow club mates. The match between Saracens D and Saracens C ended in a stalemate with neither team able to exert any supremacy over the other.  For Saracens D Terry Sims and Mike Dodwell both won two sets with Ross Greening chipping in with one.  Martin Cosnette played well to take a brace for Saracens C with one set for both Dave Foulser and Dave Cosnette, which meant the doubles assumed great importance which saw the Saracens C pairing of the two Daves win relatively comfortably to record a hard earned draw.

The Derby match between Cheltenham B and Cheltenham C ended in a closely fought 6-4 victory for the B team.  Cheltenham B proved to be more consistent with all three players scoring two wins apiece, namely Dave Green, Jon Gaskill and Mike Fry.  The mainstay of Cheltenham C was Milan Dragojlovic who won two with Grant Pawsey aiding with one set.  The doubles were decided by the attacking brilliance of Milan and Grant over the solid pairing of Green and Fry.

Smiths C have the dubious honour of being the only team not to have been beaten by table toppers Smiths B, albeit the score line was a draw and Smiths B could only field 2 players.  For the C team both Paul Singh and Chris White won one set each, whilst to their credit the B team fought for their matches ably led by Andy Richards who scored a maximum and Andy East who managed a one set win and together the two captured the doubles to scramble a 5-5 draw.

Smiths D did not have much success against an in form Winchcombe Warriors and were consequently beaten by seven sets to three, with Rob Lane increasing in confidence and ability and Neil Lawrie providing his consistent performance, they amassed together two maximums between them for the Warriors.  For Smiths, each player notched up one point but were not able to put sufficient pressure on the Warriors to cause any upsets.

Division Three
Phil is King against Sara's
CCS A condemned league leaders Saracens E to their second defeat in three weeks thanks to a hard-fought team performance. Phil King was recapturing the form of old on his way to a very good, and extremely convincing maximum. He only dropped one set on his way to defeating Tony Iles, Neil Penny and Mike Barwick. Iles and Penny claimed braces for Saracens, which included convincing wins over Steve Murton and Doug Blades. However, Blades picked up a vital win against Barwick, having been 2-1 down, and the combination of Murton and King proved too strong for Iles and Penny in the doubles. A truly topsy turvy match that may yet influence the destination of the title!

Winchcombe CCC claimed a dramatic and well-deserved 6-4 victory against Saracens F. John Teare claimed a maximum, and he was well supported by Dick Prior who claimed a brace. John Adcock claimed a brace for Saracens and was unfortunate to lose to Teare, having been 2-1 up. Roy North and Sheila Matthews picked up the other points for Saracens.

Tewkesbury A stormed to a comfortable 9-1 win against CCS B. John Goodchild and Mike Tyrrell picked up comfortable maximums, and they were supported by Simon Lockley who claimed a brace. The match between Tirley and Cheltenham D has been postponed and rearranged for two weeks time.

 

Division Four 
Understrength Panthers double disappointment
Winchcombe Panthers were down to two players for their match against Cheltenham G, but Mike Fisher excelled in winning all three of his sets for the home side, who went down 7-3. Cheltenham H were likewise up against only two Panthers and ran out comfortable 9-1 winners.

Cheltenham G and Cheltenham E are both mid-table, and so their 5-5 draw was no great surprise. Jamie Makepiece continues to improve, and he won all three of his sets for the home side, although he was pushed to five games by both  Richard Maint and Chris Pallet.
