Angus Seymour
Chackmore Wannabes
An unbeaten singles return and a deciding-game doubles win with James Beckett supplied four of the six rubbers in a 6–4 team victory. An editorial selection, not an automatic team-score award.

Leighton Buzzard Buzzards won 7–3 at Mursley Magpies through singles trebles from Tim Bevan and Chris Whitfield. Magpies’ Sue Kilby and Mike Maunders nevertheless beat that pair in the doubles, recovering from 0–2 to win the fifth 14–12. Maunders also beat Heather Wilcox in five. A convincing away result did not prevent a memorable home contribution.

Little Horwood Destroyers matched the 7–3 margin at Mursley Merlins. Chris Schmid and Sue Marchant each won three singles; Ken Sawyer, Peter Sear and Bruce Owen took one apiece for Merlins. Owen needed five against Peter Pearce, while Sear’s win over Pearce opened with a 16–14 game. Destroyers’ pair of trebles provided the separation.

Buckingham Gaol Breakers won 6–4 at Newport Pagnell Vantage with two singles each from Abhishek Yadav, Vikas Koujalagi and Gaurav Singh. Singh’s wins against Ian Wrigley and Anna Malahova both required fifth games. Mihai Stamati won twice for Vantage, and his doubles win with Wrigley ended 14–12 in the fifth. Buckingham’s evenly shared singles return was enough without the doubles.

Chackmore Wannabes beat Woburn Sands One Love 6–4. Angus Seymour won three singles and James Beckett two; together they took a five-game doubles against Nick London and Dean Sargent, finishing 11–9. Sargent’s two singles helped keep One Love close, but Chackmore’s leading pair supplied all six winning rubbers.
Official MKTTL scorecardThe narrow results were built differently: Buckingham’s six singles, Chackmore’s five plus the doubles. The same team margin can reward a different balance of contributions.
