Happy New Year,

The cup competitions get into full swing in January 2025 .

The draws are in the Handbook and on this site.

The Handicaps to be used in this year's Handicap Cup/President's Trophy have been sent to both captains and club secretaries. They also appear on this site under Handicaps 2024-25 dropdown menu. 

Updates/results will appear on this site on the relevant page and in this news section.

Some Reminders:

Caution if you need to use substitutes as they will cup tied and cannot play for 'their' team.

In order to play in a Cup Final, any player must have played in at least three League matches prior to the final. 

Handicap Cup/Presidents' Trophy:

Games played to forty points. 
A cup match includes nine singles and one doubles. 
Five serves for each player. 
Change ends when the first player reaches twenty points. 
The match score is the total team points secured plus the players handicaps. 
If the match score is level, it is the away team that is deemed the winner of the fixture.
Teams that concede their first fixture in the Handicap Cup or play with only two players are ineligible for the Presidents Trophy (Consolation H’cap competition).

Divisional/League Cup Competitions:

Games scored as per league matches, but only one point awarded to the winner of each pairing.

The doubles is not played so the first team to secure five wins progresses to the next round/wins the cup.

Happy New Year,

Sean Lucas
