HWCC sails on to the final of the Mary Rose tournament

High Wycombe has made it to the final of the national 'Mary Rose' AC competition for the third year in a row, with a 4-1 victory at Roehampton. 
On a very windy day, all the players found the conditions difficult, and the morning’s doubles went the full three hours, with Wycombe’s pairing of Chris Roberts and Mike Porter squeaking home 23-19 against David Mooney and Peter Siddall. Meanwhile, the only player who was coping with the wind, Roehampton’s John Pearson, beat Richard Peperell 26-6 to make the score 1-1 at lunchtime.
 
In the afternoon, the Wycombe players managed to improve their play significantly. Chris beat John 26-6, followed shortly by Mike winning 26-8 against David to seal the tie. In the final match, Richard pulled off a good win 26-20 against Peter.
 
The final is due to be played on 4th October, and will be against either Nottingham or Watford.
