There were lots of closely matched games with Matt and Dan getting the vital points winning 6-1, 6-1, 6-1. This victory meant Alex and Matt - with sub Dan - completed the season undefeated.

Dave and Steve fought back to 3-3 and then the set went with serve to reach the tie-break, which Dave and Steve managed to win in a close battle.
