Fives Champs
This has been a season of records for Highgate Fives. In winning the Under 19 Open in tremendous style at Highgate this March, Harry Hatchwell and Cameron Most ensured that we have now won this prestigious Cup three years in a row. Harry joins a distinguished short list of players who have won the Open twice and Cameron has now won every age group championship – U12 National, U12 Prep Schools, U13 Prep Schools, U14, U16 and the Open – amazing feats. Well done to them both.
Eve Smith-Bingham and Amira Reimer (Y6) won both the Girls Under 15 and Ladies Under 19 Open Championship where Highgate had all four semi finalists – Hannah Rapley and Francesca Howell (Y10), Eloise Most and Lara Foch (Y8) (finalists in both competitions), and Aimee Paul and Scarlet Katz-Roberts (Y6). This is a particularly talented group of girls and we look forward to further success in the future.

Eve and her partner, Ingimar Tomasson (Y5) won the National Under 12 Championship beating James Bloomfield and Robert MacLennan (Y7) in the final. Eve is the first girl to win the Under 12’s and Ingimar is the youngest. We entered 34 pairs in this competition – also a record.
Our Under 14’s dominated the National Under 14 Championship playing with exceptional skill and determination. The reward? Seven pairs in the quarter finals – an astonishing achievement. Charlie Noble and Joe Berriman retained the cup they won last year beating Jamie Willett and Joe Perl in the final.

At Harrow our Year 8 boys showed all their skill in winning the Prep Schools Under 13 Championship. Not one school beat any of our pairs. In the final Richard Footman and Alex Robinson overcame stiff opposition from Matthew Budgett and Daniel Light. Highgate has now won this cup eleven years consecutively.
This has been a rewarding and hugely encouraging season. There are now more than forty girls playing the game seriously and reaching a very high standard and the number of boys playing at the lower age groups is higher than ever. Congratulations to all our 82 pairs who took part in the National Championships and who also played in school matches. AB
