NEW S&D Leagues

Hi Everyone,

The NEW July-Sept 2025 are now up on the Club Website

Just a few notes about these new leagues..

Firstly, in the Singles there is no longer a Singles Premier league, those players have simply moved down into League 1 of the leagues, and this has had a knock-on effect for all of the leagues, so please be aware of that when looking at them, for example if you hadn’t been promoted or relegated, your league 3 or 4 will now be league 4 or 5.

For those joining the Singles leagues, you would have asked for a certain league, because of the Premier leagues players moving down to L1, your request will also have been changed, for example, had you requested to join L3, you will have been placed in L4 and so on.
As before when joining the leagues, those that let me know their wishes early have tended to get their request, whereas latecomers less so.

In both Singles & Doubles Leagues, the lowest leagues are an increased size, these extra large leagues (up to 18 players/teams) have proved a success with many more matches being played than would have been the case with say 2 leagues of 8 or 9 players/teams, also, such is the nature of the lower leagues that we do have withdrawals and members not being as available to play, so with larger leagues there should be always someone to play.

Please bear in mind to try to play your first match before the 5/6 week cut-off date, players/teams will be pulled out of the leagues if no results are recoded by the halfway point.

Bagel points are just scored in Doubles matches and are only for a 6-0 set result, there are no Bagel points for winning a tiebreak 7-0 or 10-0.

The Champions trophies for the Apr-Jun period are at the engravers and I’m hopeful they will be ready on my return in a couple of weeks time.

Enjoy the Leagues and our wonderful courts….
