2025-26 50+ Winter Knock-Out

The final was played between Dorking and Byfleet, at Dorking, on April 11th. A small but enthusiastic crowd, including Chaucer Committee member Nigel Catlow, enjoyed some excellent tennis despite the windy conditions. The ladies doubles match was won by Dorking, 6-0 6-2, though the score hardly reflects the very competitive tennis with some long games particularly in the 2nd set. The Men’s doubles was won by Byfleet, 6-2 6-4. Set 2 could have gone either way until Byfleet broke at 4-4. Both mixed doubles went the way of Dorking, with both matches closely contested. So a 3-1 victory for Dorking. This is the first time that the winter K/O has been 50+, and it is hoped that the 2026/27 competition will attract teams from more of our Chaucer community.
