We won the Premier Division for the 2nd year running and third
year out of the last four, with a record of only two rubbers lost
out of the 64 played.
This is the second best performance in the history of the Apsley
League; beaten only by the Winchester side captained by Brian Birch
some 20 years ago, who managed a clean sweep for the season.
As usual the season culminated in a head to head against
Hampshire Club in September. This was a high quality match with
three of the rubbers going to a third set. Highlight of the day was
Nick Ame's performance as he was carried through the mixed doubles
by his sister only to team up with Elliot Wood and proceed to play
the lead in their comfortable victory over The Hampshire Club
number one pair.

Stuart Levy
