Melbourn hosted Gosling in division 2 of the Hertfordshire Summer league. 

Kicking off the tie, at string 2, Colm O'Gorman took on Mike Byrne. O'Gorman started confidently and with a lot of pace and power, dominating the game and taking points at ease and putting some distance between them on the scoreboard. However Byrne's experience began to tell as he asserted some control and forced O'Gorman into a lot more retrieving. O'Gorman hung on to take the game 15:13. O'Gorman was determined not to let his opponent repeat this  in the third, again starting with pace and going for winners when the chances presented, particularly his drops to the front corners. O'Gorman took the second with the minimum of fuss 15:7. The third was a much closer affair, O'Gorman now noticeably doing a lot more running, Byrne having found a way to gain a foothold, dictating and using boasts and drops to great effect. Byrne deservedly took it 13:15. Byrne carried on in the same vein in the fourth game, forging ahead early on and never looking like losing it, taking it 9:15 and seemingly with all the momentum, while O'Gorman was showing signs of fatigue. O'Gorman however gathered himself and changed tactics, hitting the corners and lengthening the rallies successfully and avoiding unforced errors. This gave him an early lead he would not relinquish and took the game 15:9 and the match 3:1.

On court 2, at string 3, Moises Estrelles Navarro was up against Adam Faber. The players were well matched, both with high energy and speed, and an exciting match ensued. Navarro was clinical in the first game, good shot selection and making very few errors, deservedly taking it 15:8. Role reversal in the second game, where it was Faber who made the fewer errors and introducing more drops and boasts to edge the first half, then striding ahead to take it 8:15. The third game was fiercely contested, Navarro retrieving relentlessly while Faber was drilling the ball to all corners. It was anybody's game until a mixture of brave winners and some luck shifted it in Faber's favour, him taking it 11:15 and a 1:2 lead in games. The fourth game was almost a carbon copy of the third, Faber grinding it out to take it 12:15 and the match 1:3.

The last of the three matches saw Miles Jeanneret, returning from injury against a highly fancied Dan Sadler. It was high quality squash from the off, the players matching each other stride for stride. Such was the intensity that most points were being won from errors. Neither player allowed the other to get more than 2 points ahead at any stage. Jeanneret had the opportunity to reach game point but a drop just caught the tin, handing Sadler the chance to win it, which he duly did, taking it 13:15. The second was similarly intense, long rallies and excellent retrieving by both players, the pressure being applied forcing the errors. Again, Jeanneret had the opportunities to get ahead at the right time, but again Sadler nicked it to take a 0:2 lead in games. Jeanneret knew he was playing well however and stepped it up in the third, and hitting more winners from drops and drives, trying to grind his opponent down, and crusing to a 15:4 win. This may have taken more out of Jeanneret than intended, and in the context of him coming back from injury, it may explain a fall off in the fourth game, which Sadler took with ease 5:15 and the match 1:3.
