2005 London Tournament
Mark Herring reports:
With a last minute change of venue to Harrow School the weekend looked a promising one. A high level of entry in the Main Tournament saw seventeen pairs entering which was an increase from last year, mainly due to the entry of several Cambridge University pairs. The Festival, slightly down on numbers, still looked strong with twenty-one pairs entering with a large number from Westminster school staying for the weekend.

2004 London Tournament
Mark Herring reports:
After the usual rush of entries on the Thursday and Friday the London tournament consited of thirty-six pairs. There were twelve pairs that entered the main tournament; as usual the standard was still very high even without a few of the usual big name players. Most arrived on time at Highgate for a prompt start. The unusual difference being this year that there was no rain!
1999 London Tournament
Howard Wiseman reports:
In the third year since its successful relaunch in 1997, the London Tournament returned to Highgate's courts. Once again, it proved a competitive and well-spirited event featuring a range of ages, abilities, styles and personalities, a TV crew from TransWorld Sport and Steve McGranaghan's video recorder. A total of thirty-four pairs took part, sixteen of which played in the Main and eighteen in the Festival competition, in weather which was almost perfect for playing Fives if a little chilly for the spectator.

The weather wasn't great - but the Tournament was! Very well attended again with eighty players, it was wonderful to see all eighteen Highgate School Fives courts in full use throughout the weekend.
