Player of the Week
Bartosz Romanek
Rothersthorpe A
Romanek twice recovered from two games down, against Andy Holmes and John McMahon, on his way to three singles wins in Rothersthorpe A's 8–2 victory over Towcester D. He also won a five-game doubles with Krzysztof Blaszczyk. Those two recoveries provide a clear reason for the selection beyond the unbeaten return alone.

Daventry Bees followed their strong opening with another 9–1 victory, this time over Gayton B. Madu Ezedinma and Steve Fuller again won three singles each, while Kal Singh supplied two. Hartley Hancock beat Singh to prevent the clean sweep.
Fuller's hat-trick included a comeback from 0–2 against Clive Hudson, with a 12–10 third game providing the narrow bridge to an 11–8 fourth and 11–6 fifth. Singh also needed five against Hudson. Gayton's return was limited to one rubber, but Hudson's two deciding-game defeats show how close he came to changing it.

Bartosz Romanek twice recovered from two games down as Rothersthorpe A defeated Towcester D 8–2. Andy Holmes and John McMahon both held 2–0 leads; Romanek overturned the first with an 11–7 fifth and the second with an 11–4 finish. Three singles wins hardly tell the full story of that return.
Krzysztof Blaszczyk and Phillip Kibble added two each. Kibble beat McMahon 12–10 in a fifth game, while Blaszczyk held off Thomas Reddall in five. Reddall and McMahon won Towcester's singles; Romanek and Blaszczyk took the doubles in five. Half the fixture's ten rubbers reached a decider.

Ali Foote's unbeaten singles return helped Towcester E beat Bugbrooke B 6–4. Foote's hardest assignment was Ryan Webb, whom he beat 11–5 in the fifth. Frank Whiteley added two singles and Mark Thomas one, so all six of E's rubbers came from the singles programme.
Bugbrooke's Webb won twice, while Nigel Corbett recovered from 1–2 against Thomas to win 13–11 in the decider. Corbett and Webb also won the doubles. A successful doubles partnership often has the last word in a narrow fixture; here Towcester's spread of singles victories had already supplied the necessary margin.
Official TT Leagues scorecardDaventry's nine and Rothersthorpe's eight were underpinned by some demanding individual wins. Towcester E needed just six, and every one of their singles contributions mattered.
