Cippenham A retained their second place in Division 1 of the National Junior League on Saturday despite an emphatic 9-0 loss to divisional leaders Graham Spicer A in the final match. The Graham Spicer team, from New Malden, have dominated the top division of the league at Cippenham for the last two sessions but this was the first time that the host team had failed to win a set. Only four of the sets were lost 3-0 whilst Bharath Prasanna Kumar, twice, and his younger brother Sai, once, were denied by close fifth-game matches. Earlier on, the A team had beaten Chiltern A 6-3, with Edward Overy winning all three for Chiltern, and 7-2 against Graham Spicer B. Sai won all three in the latter match while Bharath and Matthew Ley won two each.

​

The Cippenham B team, having dropped down to Division 2 following withdrawal of players in the previous round, were once again weakened and finished bottom of their new division. They lost all three matches: 2-7 to Ashford A, 1-8 to EBATT and 0-9 to Kidlington Form A who romped away with the division. Only Samuel Wolfenden won any matches with Edward Meacock and Henry Wojcik drawing a blank.

​

The Cippenham C team, however, had a better time of it in Division 6, finishing level on points at the top of the table with Ashford D but lost out on promotion by virtue of their 4-5 loss against the Staines-based team.  They won their two other matches easily against the two Warren Spring teams, 8-1 against the B team and 9-0 against the C team. Arman Hafeez had a great day wining all eight of his matches while Arjun Prasanna Kumar won six and Yaseen Abdelbary, on debut in this league, won half of his eight. The three Cippenham players shared the honours with one player of the match award each.
