Collapse AllBattersea Park Doubles - Round 12 | Thursday 21 September 2017 to Wednesday 29 November 2017 (Midpoint: Wednesday 25 October 2017)

There were less groups this round but still plenty of great doubles matches in Battersea Park, so thanks to all of you for taking part and supporting the league! There were some new faces in the league which is always good to see, and new champions were crowned, so we're hoping for another great round next time.

Group Summary:

Congratulations to our doubles champions Alex S & Jack who topped the group with 4 wins and 10 points, showing that scheduling skills are an important factor in winning a group! This was a great result following promotion from Group 2 last time, although Rob & Alex V competed hard to secure runner up spot. It was Rob & Alex V who won their head to head, a really close 2-setter that was decided by 2 tiebreaks. There were also 3 set tussles won by Carol Ann & John and Alex S & Jack, so there was some great tennis across the group!
