It is with much regret that we have to inform you that due to the new Government Covid-19 restrictions being introduced this coming week, the League will have to be suspended.

No matches are to be played until further notice. We will review the situation in the New Year.

We would like to thank all those who have made great efforts to re-start the League. Hopefully, at some point in 2021, we will get back to playing League Table Tennis

Please don't forget that everyone not competing at any matches must wear a face mask at all times. These are Covid-19 rules and enables us all to remain safe and continue playing competitive Table Tennis.

Your help and co-operation is greatly appreciated.

Our season is still on course to start week commencing 2nd November 2020. Kent remain in Tier 1 and that means we are permitted to play League Table Tennis.

Players who reside in a Tier 2 area will not permitted to participate in League Table Tennis.

The League Constitution has now been created and you can view all your Club/Team fixtures within the relevant pages: https://www.mtttl.co.uk/Fixtures/Winter_2020-2021.

Our League consists of 3 Divisions, each with 9 Teams which is about 50% less than usual. Of course, we very much hope that all players will return to competitive play very soon.

Please respect the strict Covid-19 guidelines in place at all venues and good luck for the season.

We are pleased to announce that Trevor Towers is now our official League Covid-19 Officer.

Trevor will advise on all aspects of government and TTE guidelines and contact Clubs to make sure that their facilities are Covid-19 compliant.
