Greenleys Cardinals, who have had a slow start to the season, and were standing in 9th spot, took on Mursley Swallows, a couple of places above them, as the League programme nears the halfway stage. However, it was Cardinals who made the better start, as James Zeng triumphed against Martin Johnson in four close games in the opening set.  Two titanic struggles in the next two sets then saw each team gain a narrow five game win, firstly Roger Shelton just beating Cardinal's Dan Englander, but then home team's Gary Viner putting the home team back into a 2-1 lead as he defeated Peter Sear.  The home team's lead was short lived, though, as Swallows staged a mid-match recovery, taking the next four sets in a row, as firstly Martin & Roger won the doubles, then Martin beat Dan, Peter won against James and Roger defeated Gary. Dan grabbed another one back for the home team, as he beat Peter, but Swallows finished the stronger, as Martin beat Gary and Roger won against James, to make the final score 7-3 to Swallows, a result that should push Swallows just into the top half of the table. Player of the Match, for the third time running, was Swallow's in-form Roger Shelton, who extended his winning run to nine in a row.

Final Score : Greenleys Cardinals   3 - 7   Mursley Swallows
