Many thanks everyone for making it onto the courts despite some less than favourable conditions. We hope you enjoyed it regardless, and manage to keep the tennis up in the tough coming months!

Group Summary:

A number of strong wins held by Jonathon and Paul in this round, it was fitting that their head to head turned out to be a more competitive affair than their other matches. Despite Paul taking the win, Jonathon's superior scheduling ability meant he had played more matches, and as a result won more matches overall, meaning the round belongs to him! Well played all.
