Two Harriers trebles lead the way, while Rai and Young give Lions points inside an 8–2 defeat.
Coverage: 19–25 October 2026Published
The two recorded Premier fixtures produced four unbeaten singles players. That does not make their routes interchangeable: the cards contain five deciding-game contests and one straight-game win made entirely from deuce finishes.
Player of the Week
John Moloney
Headlands Harriers
Three played singles wins in Harriers' 7–3, including an 11–6 fifth-game victory over Jacob Midson after two deuce finishes in the same contest. He and Jamie Chamberlain supplied six singles points between them; our selection recognises Moloney's extra deciding-game test, not a claim about relative opponent strength.
Supporting TT Leagues scorecardDCA LionsBadgers A
Badgers A won 8–2 at DCA Lions through unbeaten singles returns from Nick Howard and Craig Brown, one win from Dominic Barker and a doubles success. Howard beat Shirishlal Basant Rai in five, finishing 11–4; Brown needed an 11–8 fifth to get past Oliver Young.
Lions' points were both earned against Barker. Rai led him two games to nil, saw Barker draw level, then won the decider 11–8. Young added the other victory in four. Barker's straight-game win over Ian Grainger was unusually tight at every finish: 12–10, 17–15, 12–10. A three-game win does not always mean a comfortable one.
Official TT Leagues scorecardHeadlands HarriersKingsley Norfolk and Chance
Jamie Chamberlain and John Moloney both won all three singles as Headlands Harriers beat Kingsley Norfolk and Chance 7–3. Their six wins, plus the doubles, accounted for the home total. Jacob Midson, Paul Gatiss and John Stamp each beat Ian Baldock for the visitors.
Moloney's win over Midson supplied the longest singles contest: a 15–13 second and 13–15 fourth took it to a fifth, which Moloney won 11–6. Stamp also went five against Baldock, finishing 11–9. Norfolk and Chance collected something from every player, but could not break either of Harriers' unbeaten singles records.
Official TT Leagues scorecardHarriers and Badgers both built their wins around two unbeaten singles players. The difference between 7–3 and 8–2 is modest; the five-game details tell us considerably more about how those margins were reached.
