Pang, Piotrowski and Howard take three; C take the derby
Three unbeaten singles returns, but three different team stories: Gayton and Towcester B win, while Towcester C find strength in shared contributions.
Coverage: 5–11 October 2026Published
Division One opened with three narrow or competitive fixtures and no shortage of players making strong individual statements. Pang's three helped win one 6–4; Piotrowski's three could not prevent another.
Player of the Week
Albert Pang
Gayton A
Three singles wins, including a straight-games victory over John Nuttall, plus the doubles with Paul CK Chan gave Pang a hand in four of Gayton A's six rubbers at Bugbrooke A. He conceded only one singles game. In a 6–4 result, that unbeaten return carried more team significance than the margin of his individual wins alone suggests.

Albert Pang supplied Gayton A's three singles as the visitors edged Bugbrooke A 6–4. He dropped only one game across those three wins, although the straight-games victory over John Nuttall still included finishes of 14–12 and 13–11. A clean result need not mean an easy evening.
Paul CK Chan's 13–11 deciding game against James Norden mattered in a fixture with little margin to spare. Greg Norden later beat Chan in five, while Nuttall's two singles kept Bugbrooke close. Gayton's doubles success supplied their sixth rubber; the difference between the sides was rather smaller than Pang's personal return.

Towcester C found a wonderfully even answer to Adrian Piotrowski's three singles: Paul Nichols, Cadoc Whiteley and Tom Watson each won twice in a 6–4 victory over Towcester A. That distribution left C with no unbeaten player but all six of the singles they needed.
Watson held off Ian Brown after losing the third and fourth games, then recovered from 1–2 against Nathan Piotrowski, taking the last two 12–10, 12–10. Whiteley also needed five against Brown, finishing 11–9. Three deciding-game singles all went C's way. Piotrowski's hat-trick and A's doubles win could not quite compensate.

Nick Howard won all nine of his singles games as Towcester B beat Daventry Aces 7–3. Cadoc Whiteley added two singles and Richard Pringuer one, giving B contributions from every position rather than an unbeaten performance operating in isolation.
Oleg Plugaru claimed two for the Aces and Madu Ezedinma one. The doubles offered the closest finish: Howard and Pringuer beat Krzysztof Jurek and Plugaru 11–8 in the fifth after the first four games had been shared. An unblemished singles card and a five-game doubles win made a substantial night's work for Howard.
Official TT Leagues scorecardTowcester C's evenly divided six singles were a useful reminder that a hat-trick is an outstanding personal return, not a guarantee of the team result.
