Katz, a Partner at Teacher Stern LLP solicitors and who has never lost a set let alone a match in the 4 years of the competition, spoke of his pride at the team’s success said “To win the title 3 years running is a remarkable achievement. Leslie, Len and Alan were superb throughout and it was a real team effort.  Our fantastic team spirit and support was borne out in the deciding match when Len came from 4-1 behind at 1 set all to battle past his opponent under intense pressure and in front of a packed crowd.  We look forward to defending our title next year. ”
