On a lovely, sunny day Leighton-Linslade used home advantage to beat an excellent High Wycombe team 5 - 2.

In the morning:

Doubles - John Watson and Judith Pengelly (LL) beat Keith Toovey and Mark Higgins (HW) 7-5, 7-6

Jean Ball (LL) beat Alan Clarke (HW) 7-6, 7-3

David Ball (LL) lost a tightly fought match against Chris Webbley (HW) 7-4, 6-7, 6-7

In the afternoon even a major water leak in the corridor close to the croquet club, resulting in the loss of electricity and water, failed to dampen the spirit of the players.

John Watson beat Keith Toovey 7-6, 7-5

Judith Pengelly beat Mark Higgins 7-2, 7-5

Jean Ball beat Chris Webbley 7-2, 7-2

David Ball lost against Alan Clarke 6-7, 6-7

Thanks to High Wycombe for providing some stiff competition.
