C & A repeated their win over Searchers, but Lyna Zhang so nearly beat Anna Muhlberg, only losing 9/11 in the 3rd game.

The Batmen repeated their draw with Hollies, and only a few points stopped Batmen winning two more sets as Robin Morgan lost very closely to Trevor Bevan and Nick Cousins.

Searchers and Shadows repeated their draw, and both are still without a win.

The Lions have taken a commanding lead, having won 4-0 against Tigers. Jake Critchley from Division 2 played up for James Hansen, who was unwell that evening, and won both his sets. Ben Sawers and Simon Parry had the longest and closest set so far, with Ben winning 12-10, 11-13 and 18-16.

The Lions had a draw with Panthers, due to Robert Starling’s good form, who won both his sets for Panthers. Tigers had a good 3-1 win over Bears. Simon James from Div 2 came in for the injured Simon Parry and won both his sets comfortably.

Zebras won 4-0 against the Bears , with both the young boys Reuben and Jacob unbeaten, although both struggled with Greg Hart- Brown, who lost close in the 3rd game to both.

Owls had a good win over Buzzards 3-1. Tom Warner lost easily to Max Benson-Bunch, but recovered later in the match to record a good win over Kim Benson-Bunch. Max beat Jack Greening to complete a very good maximum.

Sam Edwards showed improving form over the season and ended with a maximum in the 3-1 win over Buzzards.

Penguins had a good 3-1 win over the Dolphins, with Sam Edwards showing some form and winning both his games. Hayden Burford chipped in with a win over Will Allenby to secure a victory.

The Eagles have got off to a flying start, and brothers Simon and Doug James look like the team to beat.  Simon has won all his matches with ease with his clever use of spin.

Falcons recorded a 4-0 win over Dolphins. The individual scores suggest the game was far closer, with Sam Walsh unlucky to lose both his matches.

Hawks and Buzzards played out a draw, with Tom Warner winning both his matches, including the scalp of Jacob Critchley.

Owls beat Penguins 3-1. Kim Benson-Bunch recorded an easy maximum. Max Benson-Bunch played well to win one game by beating Sam Edwards. New kid on the block Hayden Burford beat Max , but had no answer to Kim’s experience.

Results for Division 1A matches played on November 29th and December 6th

The Lions have had a good start, as expected for two juniors who played in the Club league last season. The other players in this division, except Reuben Stone, are all rookies.

In the Lions match with Tigers, 2 of the 4 sets were only won close in the 3rd game, and against Panthers James Hansen only won in 3rd game against Luke Greening.

The closest set occurred in the Zebras/Bears match between 9 year old Jacob Hayward and 16 year old Greg Hart-Brown. 1st game 11/6 to Greg, 2nd game 12/10 to Jacob, and in 3rd game Greg hung on to win 16/14 . 

Reuben Stone had two comfortable wins.

There is room for improvement, as there were too many playing errors, which competition brings out.
