It was all very even in the first set, then Dave and Simon pulled away to take it 6-3. In the second set, Simon and Matthew played much better and stayed ahead for most of it until Dave and Simon managed to force a tiebreak. Again this was close and they managed to win it 7-5.

The final set saw the father and son dominate with some excellent serving from Matthew and they raced away to a 4-0 lead. Simon then won his serve and they thought they were starting the comeback. However this wasn’t to be and Simon and Matthew easily took the final set 6-1.

Two unbeaten pairs also met in a Men's B clash as Jack and Brian Morgan took on Phil Whitby and John Putnam. In gloomy conditions, the Morgans started quickly taking the first set 6-1.

John and Phil battled back but, after nearly two hours, Brian and Jack completed a 6-1, 6-3, 6-4 victory.

Miki Booth and Kevin Wilkins enjoyed some very long rallies and great winning shots as their 5-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory against Andew Regan and Pete Ireland ebbed and flowed.

Rhys Williams and Ryan Parsons' consistent hitting helped them as they beat Jason Sweby and sub Mark Green in Men's A 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.
