Middleditch takes three; Hyenas take the other seven
David's unbeaten singles are answered by a complete shared contribution from Cowley, Barker and Vass.
Coverage: 12–18 October 2026Published
Saints had the only unbeaten singles player. Hyenas had three players with two wins each and a doubles pair that won the decider. The division's sole completed fixture in this edition offers a compact lesson in the difference between an individual return and a team result.
Player of the Week
David Middleditch
Saints
Middleditch beat Elliot Cowley, Jack Barker and Trevan Vass to supply all three Saints points in a 3–7 defeat by Headlands Hyenas. His three played singles wins included a straight-game victory over Barker. The team result went the other way, but his unbeaten return stands on its own; this selection is not a reward for the winning side.
Supporting TT Leagues scorecardSaintsHeadlands Hyenas
David Middleditch won all three singles for Saints, but Headlands Hyenas won the fixture 7–3 through two wins each from Elliot Cowley, Jack Barker and Trevan Vass, plus the doubles. Every Hyenas player lost to Middleditch and beat both Sidney Middleditch and David Tebbutt. It is a wonderfully tidy singles pattern, even if it was unlikely to feel tidy to everyone involved.
The doubles supplied the only fifth game. Barker and Vass beat the two Davids 11–8 in the decider, after alternating the first four games. The fourth went to Saints 11–2; the next still belonged to Hyenas. That is as much of a turning point as the recorded games allow us to describe.
This was the only completed Division Two fixture recorded for the week on the source listing when checked. There is no need to manufacture a second story: one unbeaten player, three opponents sharing the work and a five-game doubles are enough to explain how this particular 7–3 came about.
Official TT Leagues scorecardMiddleditch's three wins stand independently of the team defeat. Hyenas' answer was equally clear: every player contributed twice, and the doubles extended the margin.
