Berkhamsted’s pair included Sam Kaynama and Barney Baines. It was held at Eton College on Tuesday 19th March 2019 with 32 pairs entered. The first round surprise was Ludgrove 4 winning their group defeating Berkhamsted 2.

Indeed, Ludgrove and Summer Fields had three pairs each in the quarter-finals of the main draw. In the final, it was 9-9 in the first game and could have gone either way. Ludgrove 1 (Charlie Hope and Rory Acheson-Gray), seeded two, were putting plenty of pressure on the first seeds but Berkhamsted’s consistent accuracy prevailed. The score was 12-9, 12-7.

The quarter-final competition was won by Ludgrove 4 who beat Summer Fields 2; the Jeremy Marston Plate was won by Berkhamsted 2 who beat Ludgrove 3; Berkhamsted 4 beat Cranleigh 1 in the final of the Roddy Forman Salver.
