2001 Under 25 Tournament

James Toop reports:

Unfortunately, there was a low turnout for this year's competition, and from the two groups came two pairs of Olavians and two Berkhamstedians. In both matches, the older and more experienced Olavians won through, but it was great to see the Berkhamstedians play well to reach the semi-finals.

The final once again saw Matthew Wiseman and James Toop playing Seb Cooley, but this time partnering William Powell. Wiseman and Toop won the first game, playing more consistently than there opponents. Cooley and Powell got stuck in in the next two games, but were unable to stop Wiseman and Toop. For Matthew, it was his third straight win in this competition, the first of which came with Seb.
