Round One of the Lambeth-wide doubles league
Round One of the Lambeth-wide doubles league
(incorporating Clapham Round 2)
25 April to 3 July 2011
GROUP ONE
Winner: Jenny Bowker & Roman Krenek
In a busy round, Jenny & Roman emerge as worthy champions, winning an impressive 5 out of 5 matches without dropping a set! Crucially, they also beat their nearest challengers, Jo and Steven in a close-fought match ("it was a great game," said Jenny), though Jo & Steven can look back with satisfaction at this round. They lost just one match out of four and finished just 4 points behind the winners. In a competitive league, Elinor & Ben, reviving their partnership from the KB Mixed Doubles League, won 2 matches, while Kirsty & Matt beat Kate & Paul in a tight 3-setter, probably the match of the round.
Finally we'd like to thank you all. As a doubles league, matches are always going to be more difficult to arrange, but a fantastic 11 matches were completed in this round, and hopefully even more will be played next time. Well done again to Jenny and Roman - will they be able to defend their crown next time?
