The duo won the All England Club trophy with their 6-2, 7-6 (3) defeat of Rinky Hijikata of Australia and David Pel of the Netherlands.

The fifth seeds in London, Cash and Glasspool also won the titles of their two most recent tournaments at Queen’s Club and Eastbourne.

Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey defeated their fellow Brits Charles Hare and Frank Wilde in the final 89 years ago.
