On Saturday 23rd March, a team of 5 braved the snow and adverse weather reports to make the trek across country to Leamington Spa. It was worth it. As expected the hospitality was warm (although the heating wasn’t working) and a splendid lunch was laid on.

On the sporting front the match started well for Leamington when William Todd took a tight match against Gerald Smith. Christie Marrian pulled things back for Cambridge with a straight sets win over newcomer Kevin Higgins. Spectators were treated to some pre-lunch entertainment when James Levy took the match against Keith Beechener and gave Leamington the lead once again. After lunch Peter Morrison and Robin Faux ensured a victory for Cambridge with wins against John Yarnall and Adam Stokes respectively. All 5 matches were straight sets wins, Cambridge taking the tie 3-2.
