League Tables
It’s been a long wait but we now have the league tables for all of our teams. See them here.
The Latest on our Ladies County Competition Progress
In the Ladies Junior Singles Ella Crouch lost to Nicole Rogers 18-21 in the County Final but this does mean she has qualified to play at Leamington. Plus they go together in the Ladies Junior Pairs to Leamington. Ella is also in the last 16 of the Ladies 2 Wood Singles.
In the County Fours Liz Lock, Ella Crouch, Natalie Heath and Val Davis have progressed to the Quarter Finals after picking up a 3 on the last end to win by 2 over Barnstaple.
In the Ladies Triples we have a three, which includes Natalie Heath (don’t know the other 2, sorry), in the last 16 of Group B.
Val Davis, Jane Perrett, Sue Coffield and Liz Lock have won through to the last 16 of the Senior Fours.
