Coverage: 19–25 October 2026Published
Gayton C's three-player return brought the maximum ten. In the other recorded fixture, Piotr Gorniak supplied four contributions to a Daventry Extras side that finished level. An unbeaten card can be just as significant when the team total is five.

Gayton C won 10–0 at Bugbrooke C, with Jim Brogan, Robert Hughes and Clive Hudson each completing three singles victories. All nine singles were played: this was not a short-handed scoreline. Bugbrooke took games from every member of Gayton's side but could not convert one of those openings into a rubber.
Elizabeth Davison came closest, taking Hughes to five before he won the decider 11–4. Brogan and Hudson also dropped two games each across their three singles. Hudson and Brogan took the doubles 3–1, completing a clean sweep built on three equally productive singles returns.
