There are two divisions with three players in each team and everyone plays 4 sets of doubles per match. In the case of a draw in sets the winning team is the one with the highest number of games won. Some of the ladies have been playing for over 20 years and others are just starting off so there’s room for all age groups and abilities. We begin at around 9.30am and are usually finished around 1.30pm.
There are two competitions each year – from February to June, then from July to December.
