(At this point after watching Ted's game last over 2 hours, and as they were primary, Colin's game, with many stoppages, also took over 2 hours, The teams attacked their lunches with desperation / ravenous huunger. Fortunately the catering exceeded the demands of the players, with Colin's wife's cakes being much appreciated)

The match is tied at 3-3

In the final round Ted and Colin, much refreshed, speeded-up to quickly finish with spectacular effect
Ted 1-7 Carolyn
Colin 7-1 Betty

The doubles was decided fairly early with Surbiton establishing a good lead and playing out for a comfortable win
Bob + Margaret 7-3 Stan + Lyn

Final result Surbiton 5-4 Merton
