Agony for Sam Russell and Doug Law yesterday, losing the final of the doubles to Butler and Callaghan at the South East Open. Fine performances from both players, but not quite enough for the title.

Finally, many thanks to Durham University Club Captain Mike Suddaby, who organised the weekend's highly successful tournament and filled in as livestream commentator when Douglas Law was on court. Hope the shoulder heals quickly!

[DU Rugby Fives @DURVsC]

A fine match in the final game of the tournament. The Durham pair was edged out in the end by 12 points to 11.

So we end with sudden death: Law & Elliot take on Tidy & Beattie in the final game of the day. 5 out of 5 plays 5 out of 5.

Michael Suddaby, 22, was tragically injured in a rugby fives game yesterday after aggressive play from his opponent. We all miss him dearly.
