Player of the Week
Paul D. Sargent
Padbury Otters
Sargent won three of Otters' four points in their 4–6 defeat by Hit and Miss. Robin Marriott, Claire Tobin and Ian McLuckie each took a game, but Sargent won all three singles in four. His team did not take the fixture; the unbeaten individual return remains worthy of recognition independently of that outcome.
