NATIONAL DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIP - CYRIAX CUP The Ciub Doubles Championship, contested five times between 1926 and 1933, became the Amateur Doubles Championship in 1934. The trophy was donated by Dr. Edgar Cyriax, the W.G. Grace of fives, whose best playing days were over before championships started. He had been a remarkable player, reputedly remaining unbeatenin singles play for 34 years between 1890 and 1924, when he was beaten at the age of 50 by G Avgherinos of St. Paul's School. Wayne Enstone won the Cyriax Cup 15 times in all (with 3 diff'erent partners), butjust as remarkable perhaps is the fact that Ian Fuller and David Hebden were in every final from 1980 to 2000, winning the trophy in ten of those years. Neil Roberls is closing in on Enstone's doubles record, having won the trophy 13 times so far. The event is now known as the National Doubles Championship. t926 1921-29 1930 l93l 1932 1933 1934 1935 1936 Poge 2

The North-West Championships were originally known as the Lancashire Open, and then they became fbr a while the Greater Manchester County Open. The idea of running a tournament at the Manchester YMCA was put to Fred Beswick, the first organiser, by David Gardner at the North of England Championships in 1968. The original trophies were donated by the YMCA C1ub, and the present doubles trophy was the gift of Fred Beswick and Danny McGregor in 1991, after the old cup had been given to Ian Fuller and David Hebden on winning it for the tenth time. Wayne Enstone won the singles an astonishing 2'I times in succession. 1968 1969 t97o t97 | t972 r973 t974 19'75 r976 1977 1978 t979 1980 198I 1982 1983 I 984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 r994 1995 r996 1997 1998 r999 2000

WHITGIFT DOUBLES

NATIONAL SCHOOLS CHAMPIONSHIPS

The Whitgift Doubles was stafied by Chris Jones in August 2003. The tournament is designed to encourage younger players (aged 16-25) to become more involved in the senior fives 'circuit', by pairing them with the country's best players. The 2003 winners were J. Fabes and S. Korris.

The National Schools Championships were inaugurated in 1930 and have been contested every year since, with the exception ofthe war years.The Jesters'Cup for singles has been won by representativesof21 schools, with Bedford (12 wins), St. Dunstan's(10 wins), St. Paul's (9 wins) and Oundle (8 wins) outstanding;while the Mappin Cup for doublesbearsthe namesof 22 schoolsin all, with Oundle (13 wins), St. Paul's (11 wins) and St. Dunstan's (10 wins) predominant. ln 1975, Under 16 competitions were started. For the singles, the then Hon. Treasurer of the RFA, Robert Digby-Clarke, donated the Harpur Cup in commemoration of Sir William HaIpur, benefactor of both Bedford and Bedford Modern Schools; and the doubles was endowed with the impressive Marchant Cup, previously competed for by the London Grammar Schools. Under 14 competitions were started in 1995, and trophies were donated by Peter King (singles) and David Bames (doubles). For many years, the National Schools championships were orgzinisedby Charles Whyte at Whitgift School, Croydon, but now they take place at St. Paul's School, Barnes, where they are run by David Goodwin, Peter King and Michael Beaman. They are held at the end of the Spring Term.

WEST OF ENGLAND SCHOOLSCHAMPIONSHIPS The West of England Schools Championships were first played in Bristol in 1959. The organiser was Adrian Codrington, an Old Bristolian who had startedthe West of England Rugby Fives Club in 1956. The trophies (the Kemp Cup for singles, and the Punchard Cup for doubles) were donated by eponymous Old Bristolians. For the first eight years, the winners came from West of England schools only, but thereafter players from further afield began to make their mark. The event has been held variously at Bristol Grammar School, Colston's School, Sherborne School, Clifton College and Marlborough College, and it takes place in early January. 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 t964 1965 1966 1967 1968 1969

NATIONAL CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP (WOOD CUP)

OXFORD Y CAMBRIDGE

The National Club Championship (or Club Knockout Championship, as it was then known) was introduced in 1974 at the instigation of its organiser, Ian Fuller. A splendid trophy was donated by Tom and Joan Wood. Held in its early years at a variety of venues, since 1983 the final rounds have been played over one weekend at the Bank of England Sports Club and St. Paul's School. Teams are of four players, but substitutions are allowed between rounds.

The University Match between Oxford and Cambridge was first played in 1925. Of the matches to date, Cambridge have won 48 and Oxford 26, with Oxford victorious in 11 out of the last 12 matches. This may have some connection with the facilities available at the two universities: whereas Oxford opened new courts in 1990, Cambridge lost their base at Portugai Place in 1995. The University Match has been played at a variety of venues, but in recent years it has been held at St. Paul's School, Bames.

RFA V BUSA REPRESENTATIVEMATCH The annual 'Representative Match' between the RFA and the British Universities started in December 1967. The first match was 4 per side, but for the second and subsequentmatches teams of 6 were selected. Since 1969, the match has been played in January or February, and the RFA has only lost once, by 195-205 points in 7978. There was a tie in 1986 at 203 points all. Page I 8

This event was held for 3 years in I 983, '84 and '85 on the courts of Bedford Modern School. Its great success was due to the efforts of its organisers,David Hebblethwaite and Jerry Cooper, who also donated the trophies. Eight singles players and eight doubles pairs were invited to compete in a knockout format over one weekend. The singles was won each year by Wayne Enstone, and the doubles by Steve Ashton and Wayne Enstone.

LONDON LEAGUE The idea of a London League was first proposed by Rick Wilson, RFA President in 1991-2, but it was not implemented until the seasonof 1994-5, when Dave Fox set up a two-division league comprising 10 teams in the London area. The inaugural winners were the 'Forty Club', led by Ian Fuller.
