Ray Webb Updated 6th April
Our Lady of Peace 'B' have retained the trophy they won last season [as OLOP 'E'], with Reading FC 'A' again the unfortunate opponents. With Reading 4 - 3 up the crucial set eight matched Reading's unbeaten Antony Alleyne against OLOP's unbeaten Abhay Gore and it was Abhay who came out on top. Fittingly the final set went to a deciding game, Hari Laddunuri capitalising on his five point advantage to win the match for OLOP. More match details to be posted on this weeks Press Release.
