Senior Divisions 2018/19

The league structure for the coming season was approved by the RDTTA Management Committee on 2nd August 2018.

We have a new Club, Kennet Valley Free Church TTC who have entered 2 teams. Unfortunately we have also lost one Club since last season, Saiyan Brothers - although their remaining players have moved to Milestone where they form a distinct team.

A number of the remaining clubs entered less teams than previously, so we have a total of 48 teams for the coming season, 4 less than last season. 

After considering various options, it has been decided to have 4 divisions of 12 teams. (SEE NOTE BELOW)

Although it may appear that a number of teams have been placed in a higher division than expected, in reality the majority of teams in each division are of a similar standard.

The details of all teams, their home nights and team captains for each of the 4 Senior Divisions, as it will appear in the RDTTA Handbook, are shown in the following pdf files.

The fixtures for all teams are now available on this website under the Menu item, FIXTURES & RESULTS. 

NOTE

The RDTTA Committee had a major challenge to resolve the league structure for next season, due to a the loss of several teams and some clubs losing a number of their players. This has meant a reduction in the number of Divisions and a large number of teams being placed in what appears to be a higher division - but in reality they are mostly amongst teams of a similar level of standard.

The league structure also has to take account of Clubs that need some of their teams to alternate or share home nights, which adds a level of difficulty when trying to place teams. This not only restricts teams' positions within a Division but can prevent a team from being located at the level they have requested.

A breakdown of the options considered and further detail about the structure being put in place has been provided to all Club Secretaries.
