Magdalen Vth stymied by Sutton Churches 3-1
Only Schmetzer and Willcocks managed to win a paltry rubber in a depressing match, peppered with unanswered questions, unlucky breaks, squandered opportunities and bodged tie-breaks. Every Magdalen player was heard swearing - some in foreign languages.

"Life's a bitch," said an emotional skipper, Roger Willcocks.
