Table Tennis has returned to Chelmsford and it has done so with a very different scoring system. The Central Essex Summer League features two a side matches but the doubles set has been dropped due to social distancing requirements.

As some of you may already have noticed, the Summer League website is not able to record all of the match information for the scoring format that we are operating this season.

Whilst the results of individual sets between two players are correct, the game scores on the scorecard are only showing on a "best of 5" basis.

This Summer League website is now live.

Please note that if you have checked the fixtures before viewing this news item then the start times for matches will have changed and you should check the fixtures section again to ensure that you have noted down the correct start times.
