Jaison Mistry did not lose a singles match. Unfortunately for Greenleys Dukes, that was also their entire points haul. Neighbours Zainabiya won every other rubber to take the derby 7–3. There were other strong performances across Division Four, but none that illustrated the difference between individual brilliance and team strength quite so neatly.

Mursley Swallows and Greenleys Sovereigns finished 5–5, with Luis Rodriguez winning all three singles for Sovereigns. He needed a 12–10 fifth against Ed Bettison after trailing 1–2. Chris Bosworth and Vinayak Menon claimed two each for Swallows, and Bosworth also came back from 0–2 against Stefan Swift. Sovereigns' doubles victory was enough to turn Rodriguez's treble into a draw.

Open University Explorers beat Newport Pagnell Vanquish 6–4 thanks to the simplest possible distribution: Afra Tian won three singles; Chitra Balakrishna won three singles; six points, job done. Vanquish took the doubles and each home player beat Dekai Xia, Ian Wrigley requiring a 12–10 fifth. The visitors had no spare singles contribution, but their two unbeaten players supplied precisely enough.

Padbury Night Owls were 8–2 winners over Mursley Strikers. Jean Bisault won three singles, while Chris Hill and Neil Heavisides won two each. Bisault was taken to five by Gerald O'Dell before pulling away 11–2 in the decider. Todd Agnew supplied both Strikers points. It was Division Four's widest win — without being quite as effortless as the headline suggests.

And back to the Greenleys derby. Mistry's three wins included an 11–9 fifth against Naren Bellala after falling 1–2 behind. But Riaz Dhanji, Faraz Mohsin and Bellala won two singles each for Zainabiya; Dhanji and Mohsin also took the doubles in five against Mistry and Advaith Kondebettu. Three impeccable singles cannot cover seven missing points.
Official MKTTL scorecardNight Owls took the largest margin, Explorers worked as a two-player winning machine and Swallows shared a draw. Mistry's solitary three-point campaign is the story Division Four will remember.
