Due to kick off at 1pm this saturday the 14th November. Drumroll for the Warwick Team:

Rich Marsh
Philipp Henkes
Colin Fallon
Nik Doran
Tom Willetts
Stephen Cordle
Ankush Khandelwal
Josh Eilon

Come on the Warwick!

It was a draw, 12-12, Warwick coming back from 12-9 down to win the last three singles.

Oxford:

Graeme Addison & Ben Langridge
Pete Franklin & Mike Hart
Brodie Pearson & Stan Burlakov
Alan Shirfan & Chris Chan

You could have played a decider!

Decider should have been on Tornado in my opinion.

Oh well, well played Oxford!

It was a great match, thanks to the Warwick boys for having us. We'd have definitely taken a draw before the match but as Pete said we were up at the end so I'm kind of disappointed we didn't manage to nick it. In the end though Warwick's top singles (Colin, Rich) were too good. Brodie and Tom had agreed at the beginning not to do any kind of decider, it could have been fun to have something but I'm not convinced there was any fair way we could have done it.

Well done to Oxford for picking up the best result against Warwick in recent years, fighting hard and winning several games coming from behind. Clearly their team wasn't at full strength (had Chris Lyall played Warwick would surely have won) but still... Hopefully we can keep things going when we head over to tabland next term...

It was a good match, level pretty much all the way through. I thought there were some very strong doubles pairs (but clearly not a single dominating pair) which made it quite interesting.

Thanks for having us guys, i'm sure i speak for the rest of our team when i say we had a really good time. Brilliant idea to have the tables right next door to a costcutter too...
