University of Cambridge Sport

Friday, 17th February 2006,
Iffley Road, Oxford
Men’s First Team: Cambridge 9 – Oxford 1
Men’s Second Team: Cambridge 4 – 6 Oxford
Women’s First Team: Cambridge 10 – 0 Oxford
Most matches were won by the Cambridge team in three straight sets, indicating a clear superiority over the Oxford players.
The only obstacle to a whitewash was Glynn Eggar’s narrow loss against the Oxonian Number 1, Chris Hansell, but the revenge
soon came in his doubles game (with partner Stanley Zhang) and subsequent singles’ game. The bravest show was put on by
the Cambridge Captain, Devesh Shete, as he recovered from near defeat, to trump Chris Willshaer with a score of 7 – 11, 11 –
5, 6 – 11, 11 – 7, 11 – 2.
Other Team Highlights
Michaelmas Term, Fenner’s
Cambridge beat Southampton 13 – 4
This was to be Cambridge University’s only convincing victory of the season, but it did demonstrate some of the flair that led us
to the finals of the BUSA championships in the 2004 – 2005 season. The experienced team of Devesh Shete, Glyn Eggar,
Hamish Yeung and Stanley Zhang proved to be unrelenting against a quite formidable (on paper) Southampton line up.
Individual Achievements and Representative honours
Devesh Shete and Stanley Zhang represented Cambridgeshire County in 2nd Division of counties.
Sponsorship: The club is currently in the process of establishing a sponsorship deal with a local company, Red Gate Software,
which would significantly enhance our financial situation in the upcoming year.

BUSA
BUSA Championship Finalists
The Women’s Team expected to do well this season, after their exploits of last season, when they won the BUSA
Championships for the 1st time. They had a very strong crew of Captain Shellyanne Wilson, Arti Krishna, MPhil student Shweta
Kamdar, and Celine Dong.
All their victories until the final were convincing one-sided affairs, with 7 – 3 being the narrowest margin of victory. However,
they lost the final by a walkover, with none of their players being available to play for the final.
Individual Achievements and Representative Honours
Shweta Kamdar, Arti Krishna and Shellyanne Wilson represented Cambridgeshire County in the 2nd Division of counties.
