National Cadet League Day 4 - 10 March 2024

The National Cadet League season concluded at Cippenham on Sunday with Cippenham's two teams sharing mixed results.

​

Cippenham A, who had finished second in Division 1 after all three previous days, looked set to do likewise but a final match 6-3 defeat to Kingfisher A saw them slump to third, two points behind their opponents. Kingfisher had Rishaan Sawant, playing for the first time this season, to thank for this result as he beat all three Cippenham players, Bharath Prasanna Kumar, Bharat's younger brother Sai, and Aarav Seth. Cippenham, hitherto, had made an impressive start to the day with two 5-4 victories over Rosehill and league champions Graham Spicer A. Against Rosehill, it was Bharath who won the three, picking up the inevitable player of the match award while Sai won twice. The roles were reversed against Spicers with Sai winning three times and Bharath just failing 14-12 in the fifth against Kei Yin Ng.

​

Cippenham B lost to Ashford D 5-4 in the opening match, then beat Chiltern B 8-1, before losing their final match 6-3 to divisional winners Basingstoke.

​

Over the season Bharath won 32 of his 36 individual matches while Sai won 24. For the B team, Daniel Brazil recorded the best average with 22 wins from 36 while Christopher Farrell won exactly half of his matches.
