Melisha won her group despite a tough final match against Ruby Gandi Bamidele. A bye in the Quarter finals meant that she would face another London Academy player, Serene Rahmani-Walentynska, in the semi-finals. This match swung both ways before Melisha squeezed through 11-9 in the fifth set.

In the final, she faced yet another local player, Stanmore’s Maahi Malde, who reached the final by beating Greenhouse’s Niylah Fernandez. After the first 2 sets were shared, Melisha pulled away to win (9-11, 11-9, 11-2, 12-10) and take the gold.

In the Under-15 Boys Greenhouse’s Parsia Ahsani won his second Gold medal in a row when he beat London Academy's Connor Godley in the final. Having lost the first set to the left-hander, Parsia came back to win two in a row before Connor leveled in the fourth. The fifth, however, was settled quickly with Parsia winning 11-2 to take the title.

In the Semi-finals, Parsia had another 5-set win over London Academy’s Yacoub Rahmani-Walentynska, while Connor had a straight sets win over Chi Yin Henry Fung.

The Under 13 Mixed title was won by Christopher Darby who was returning from injury. He beat Darsh Gopal in four sets in the final. In the Semi-finals Christopher beat Joshua Freeman in four sets, while Darsh beat London Academy’s Nicholas Andrei in three sets.

In the Under 11 Mixed competition the title group was decided on a three-way countback between Daniyal Janmohamed, Jacob Vogl, and Odysseas Karassav. Daniyal eventually was declared the winner due to having the best set ratio, with Jacob coming second and Odysseas taking the bronze.

The Under 11 consolation group was decided in a head to head between Daniel Bordalo and Damien Ng when they both ended on three wins.

Our final Senior 2 Star of the season saw local player Gabriel Achampong tear through the entire competition for the loss of only one set.

That single set loss came in his Quarter-final match against eBaTT’s Ben Levi, who had taken a break from dominating the U19 Boys to try his luck in the Senior Mixed. A Semi-final win over another eBaTT player, Janak Shah meant that Achampong would meet newcomer Mahmood Kelani in the final, after his straight sets win over eBaTT's Rajiv Padman.

After a tight first set, the London Academy player found an extra gear to take the final two sets quickly for a 3-0 win.

In the Under 19 Boys, Janak’s brother Nishil faced off against Marcel Ndongola in the final. Despite a competitive match, Marcel's greater power showed in a 3-1 victory. Nishil was taken to five sets in the Semi-final against late entrant Louis Alexander, whereas Marcel only needed four sets to see off Yacoub Rahmanni Walentynske in the other Semi-final.

In the Under 19 Girls, Serene Rahmani-Walentynska took the first of two titles by coming top of a single group of five players.

On Sunday the Under 15 Boys saw Nishil Shah reach another final, this time facing off against Greenhouse’s Parsia Ashani. Ashani won in four sets to take the title.

Both players had to overcome fierce local resistance in the knockout stages. Nishil was taken the distance by Adam Riadi in their Quarter-final, but it was Parsia who had the biggest challenge from Yacoub Rahmani -Walentynske, who went 10-6 up in the fifth set before the Greenhouse player clawed it back. In the Semi-finals Shah dismantled Stefan Pop in three sets, while Ashani beat third seed Adam Watson, also in three.

In the Under 15 Girls Serene won her second title of the weekend when she defeated Alexia Ciobanica in the final. Serene had reached the final by beating another London Academy player, Ruby Gandi Bamidele in four sets. Alexia also need four to beat Greenhouse's Nylah Fernandez in the other semi-final.

The Under 13 Mixed saw an influx of talented players moving up from the U11 division. The best of these on the day was Fox's Lev Samhurov, who matched his schoolmate Nikolas Karavas by reaching the Semi-finals. Both went out at this stage to the eventual finalists, Joshua Freeman and Jayden Xuan Chen. The final was a tight nervy affair. Jayden took a two set lead before Joshua started to fight back to level the match at 2-2. The fifth set was a gripping affair with chances for both to win. In the end Jayden took it 13-11.

In the Under 11 Mixed Jacob Vogl took full advantage of an open field by winning all four of his Division one matches to take the gold. Colin Ho took Silver after a three way countback which saw Odysseas Karassav take the Bronze.
