For the 2022-23 season both Bexhillians and Hastings Academy TTC’s start time for league matches will be at 7:15pm. Please ensure you’re at the venues in time to allow for these new start times.

Hollington, Monarchs, and Tackleway start times will continue to be 7:30pm.

Due to this new variation, each fixture featured on this website for the coming season now shows an expected start time as well as the scheduled date.

We have all learned to live with Covid now and there are no mandatory restrictions. However, unfortunately it hasn’t gone away and we need to be considerate to all of our players. Therefore, with respect, we ask that any player who knowingly has Covid refrains from playing Table Tennis until they have had a negative test. This way we can all stay safe and enjoy participating in the H&DTT league.

On Thursday 22nd September, the fixtures for the 2022-23 season were officially released to the TT365 website. On the same date, the details of the 2021-22 season were archived. Apologies for the lack of any formal announcement to this effect from either the League Secretary or myself.

At the recent Hastings and District Table Tennis Association AGM, along with the normal business for this meeting we were delighted to identify Oli Matthews as the Most Improved Junior Player in the H&DTTA Senior League for the 2021/22 season. (continued)

At the last AGM there were discussions about the League format with an aim to reduce the time taken for a match to be completed. Unfortunately there was insufficient time to review options.
