The Eton second Pair of Will Hopton and James Rowland Clark had a closer tussle with Sam Barclay and George Adair. After winning the first game to 5 they were 11/13 down in the second game but having levelled the scores at 13/13 were the more determined in the set to 5 and won the game 17/15 and then took the final game for the loss of only 2 points; the final score being 15/5,17/15,15/2 to Eton.
 

The Junior Colts matches also went the way of the visitors. In the Junior Colts A Harry Staight and James Chilton had good tussle with the Eton pair of Freddie Briance and Will Ross. Having lost the first 2 games 5/15,5/15, the Marlburians fought back to take the third game 15/9, but Eton proved stronger in a close fourth game and took it and the match 15/13. In the B colts game Higson and Powell-Brett of Eton beat Ohlson and Staight in straight games 15/5,15/8,15/3.
