Junior British Clubs League 3rd day - 24 January 2026
Cippenham A took the opportunity to jump straight back to the top division of their section of the Junior British Clubs League, winning Division 2 on Saturday. Having been relegated at the end of the previous day in November, an unbeaten performance from George Driscoll, backed up superbly by Rohan Bhide, ensured that they will finish the season next month in the top division.
George, unsurprisingly, was named player of the match on all three occasions as Cippenham beat Stanmore B and Chiltern A both 6-3 and Oaks 5-4. Anish Adapa also contributed a win in the first of those matches but it was the combination of George and Rohan who ultimately led Cippenham to a deserved top spot.
​
The second team finished third in Division 5 but were hampered by having the results of one player disallowed through ineligibility, he having played for the A team previously. Armaan Koteshwar was named player of the match against Twickenham Brunswick B while Jude Marshall also won all his three matches as Cippenham triumphed 6-3. The other two matches resulted in defeats against Chiltern B 5-4 and Crusaders D 3-6. Armaan and Jude both ended up winning two-thirds of their matches across the day while Nayan Yelkur was successful in half of his.
​
The Cippenham C team, playing in a topsy-turvy Division 6, ultimately finished second. Ayush Kulkarni was player of the match as his team started with a 9-0 thrashing of Twickenham Brunswick C. Shreyas Wagle and Saavan Hunjan also banked maximums in this match. Ashford C were then far too good in the second match, running out 9-0 winners and then the day concluded with another defeat, this time 4-5 to Ashford D. Shaurya Bapna won two here, backed up by Shreyas and Saavan with one each.
