The Winchester Fives Mixed Doubles Championship was contested for the first time since 2010 and it was the organiser, Alex Steel, who emerged as the champion, partnering fellow Executioner Andy Pringle to the title with a win over Eastbourne's Tony Hamilton and Kathleen Briedenhann.
It was a fine result, as Andy and Alex had actually lost heavily to the other pair in the round-robin section of the tournament, but a change in tactics helped them to a win over their tiring opponents. However, the Eastbourne College minibus didn't go home without some 'silverware' as Tessa Mills and Spencer Beal combined to win the Plate, beating Dick Warner and Sarah Greasley (playing in her first non-Eton Fives event) in an epic three-game match.
