Winter League 2024–25

This year's Winter League was another closely-contested competition. Spring Lane teams were victorious in the Men's and Mixed competitions, with Kirby teams coming second in both cases — though in the Men's case, Kirby drew with another Spring Lang team. The Ladies' competition was the other way round, with Kirby winning and Spring Lane coming second.

We were really fortunate this year in that no matches had to be postponed until 18^th November — we think this is a record. The really cold December meant that a fair number of matches had to be postponed due to frost, but there were few cancellations in January and none in March.

Kirby were kind enough to hold some of the matches on their courts this year; without this help, we would not be able to complete all the fixtures.

Many thanks go to the team captains for organising their teams, arriving promptly for matches, and letting the organisers have the result promptly. This meant that the league tables on the website were always updated within a couple of days of matches being played.

We would like to thank everyone who played in this year's leagues for their willingness to brave the weather and turn out on dark, cold nights for some tennis. The organisers' abiding memory is driving along the main road past the courts and seeing all four courts taken up with matches and the floodlights shining brightly on the players. Well done, everyone!
