Player of the Week
Richard Pringuer
Gayton
Both of Pringuer's singles wins needed a fifth game in Gayton's 6–4 at Rothersthorpe B. Against Vincent Galvin he recovered from two games down and won the decider 13–11; against Paul Nichols he finished 11–9 in the fifth. Two deciding-game victories in a fixture separated by two points make a persuasive editorial choice.

Gayton won another 6–4, this time at Rothersthorpe B, through two singles victories each from Cadoc Whiteley, Richard Pringuer and David Howard. Paul CK Chan won all three for the hosts. Pringuer's two victories both required fifth games; against Vincent Galvin he recovered from two games down and finished 13–11.
Howard also went five against Paul Nichols. Nichols and Chan then recovered from 0–2 to win the doubles 11–7 in the fifth. Four deciding-game rubbers, two two-game comebacks, and a fixture settled by Gayton's shared singles contribution: there was rather more here than a familiar 6–4.

Ethan York won three singles as ACC Dragons beat ACC Foxes 8–2. Michael Nong and Gavin York added two each, with the doubles completing the away total. Kamil Cherek earned both Foxes points, beating Nong and Gavin York in five games. His 11–1 decider against Nong was emphatic after four closely contested games; against Gavin he finished 11–7. Foxes had two hard-earned wins, but no third scorer.

Shiv Jadeja won all three singles in Highfield's 5–5 draw at Badgers B. Darsh Gopal and Kush Jadeja each added one. John Nuttall and Robert George won twice apiece for Badgers, who also took the doubles; James Norden finished without a singles point. No rubber required a fifth game. Highfield's unbeaten player and Badgers' doubles success ended up balancing the same scorecard.

Andrew Harrison again won three singles as Kingsley C beat Kingsley D 7–3. Andrew Law added two and Anthony Wharton one, with a doubles win completing the seven. Paul Malpass won twice for Kingsley D, while Paul Datson beat Wharton 11–4 in the fixture's only fifth game. The margin favoured C, but D supplied the deciding-game winner.
Official TT Leagues scorecardBridge ADCA Crusaders
Bridge A beat DCA Crusaders 10–0 with Aaron Donoghue, Steve Carroll and Michael Daly each credited with three singles wins. Crusaders fielded Orrin Edwards and Luis Rodriguez with a vacant third slot, so three of those points were conceded rather than contested. Bridge won the six played singles and the doubles. The result is comprehensive without needing to turn forfeits into stories about games that never happened.
Official TT Leagues scorecardThree fixtures went 6–4, 5–5 and 7–3; the other two finished 8–2 and 10–0. Pringuer's pair of deciding-game wins is the detail that gives the narrowest victory its own identity.
