Garcia climbs out of 0–2; Gayton find an answer to Carroll
Six fixtures bring a whitewash, two-game recovery and an unbeaten player on the losing side.
Coverage: 5–11 October 2026Published
Division One provided several different kinds of emphatic result. ACC A and Rothersthorpe B survived repeated fifth games, Badgers B encountered a full comeback, and Gayton showed that three wins by one opponent do not settle a team fixture.
Player of the Week
Paul Nichols
NTFC - CT (Rothersthorpe) B
Nichols won all three singles in Rothersthorpe B's 9–1 at Highfield, with two of those victories needing a fifth game. He held off Kush Jadeja 12–10 in the decider and beat Jaisal Patel 11–5 in another. The unbeaten return matters; surviving both deciding-game tests gives this selection its particular weight.

Ricky Jackson won three singles in DCA Crusaders' 8–2 win over Kingsley D, supported by two apiece from Luis Rodriguez and Marlon Fearon. Paul Malpass and Paul Datson claimed Kingsley's points. Fearon had the fixture's five-game assignment, recovering from 2–1 down against Malpass to take the last two 11–9 and 11–8. Crusaders also won the doubles.

ACC A's 10–0 against ACC Foxes included three five-game singles, so the whitewash did not come without resistance. Chris Gibbs, Vitor Cadilha and Filipe Santiago all went unbeaten. Kamil Cherek led Gibbs 2–1 before losing the last two games; he also took Santiago to five. Santiago needed another decider against Stefano Swift. ACC A won every one of those fifth games.

Paul CK Chan and Paul Nichols took three singles each in Rothersthorpe B's 9–1 win at Highfield; Vincent Galvin added two. Kush Jadeja supplied Highfield's point against Galvin, but very nearly had another: Nichols beat him 12–10 in a fifth after Jadeja had recovered from two games down. Jaisal Patel also took both Galvin and Nichols to five. Rothersthorpe won all three deciding games.

Andrew Harrison's three wins anchored Kingsley C's 8–2 against Headlands Hawks. Anthony Wharton and Andrew Law added two each. Christian Dabbs earned one of Hawks' points against Law, withstanding a recovery from two games down to win the fifth 11–7; Steve Fuller claimed the other against Wharton. Kingsley took the doubles to round out a result built on all three home players' contributions.
Official TT Leagues scorecardACC DragonsBadgers B
Robert George won three singles and James and Greg Norden two each as Badgers B won 8–2 at ACC Dragons. Jose Garcia supplied both home points, including a complete recovery against Greg Norden: after losing the first two 4–11, 4–11, he won 11–7, 13–11, 11–9. Greg had already beaten Michael Nong 11–9 in another fifth. The last game was busy; it was not always kind to the same side.
Official TT Leagues scorecardGaytonBridge A
Gayton beat Bridge A 6–4 despite Steve Carroll winning all three singles for the visitors. Matthew Swarbrick, Cadoc Whiteley and Richard Pringuer each won twice for Gayton, whose six singles wins outweighed Bridge's doubles success. Swarbrick needed five against Michael Daly, taking the decider 11–4. It was the week's clearest case of a balanced trio overcoming an unbeaten opponent.
