Singles League
A trickle of matches have so far been played in the new Singles Leagues. It’s time to make it a flood! So if you haven’t yet started please don’t wait on others to contact you. The leagues really need everyone to be pro-active in arranging matches, otherwise there are whole divisions where everyone waits for others and nobody ever plays. It would be great if everyone can play at least 1 or 2 matches before Christmas. Remember all results count towards L.T.A. ratings.
