Confirmation that the AGM will be held on Wednesday 22nd June 2016 at 8.00 pm at West Hanningfield Village Hall. If your club has any issues that they wish to put on the Agenda please let me know. I will need to know by 1st June.
The league reached its peak in the 1970s when there were 52 clubs competing with a total of 85 teams. There were 11 mixed divisions, 8 ladies and 6 mens. Virtually all matches were played in single court village halls each of which had its own character and many a match lasted until after midnight. Marconis, Hoffmans and Crittalls all had more that one court.
As the original clubs became smaller, some have since merged to form larger clubs and make use of the multi court sports halls now available. Today there are 13 clubs competing with a total of 68 teams. There are 3 mixed 6 divisions, 2 mixed 4, 2 ladies 4, 3 men’s 6 and 3 men’s 4.
