Winter League

Thanks to Winter League sponsors Kendall’s Jewellers, who can be found at 27 High Street in Wetherby, for their kind support.

Wetherby Tennis Club run their own Winter League for clubs in the area that may not have floodlights and who are keen to keep their competitive tennis going even during the depths of winter.

Mike Triffitt has taken over the running from Ian Teasdale who ran this very successful league for 6 years and we start our 11th term this winter . We are running two divisions with six teams in each. Division One winners will be the Winter League Champions with the team finishing bottom replaced by the Division Two winners the following season.

Sadly Harlow have withdrawn from Division 2 so all their three match results have been expunged and the table updated .

The title will be decided on a head to head record if two teams are on the same match points whilst if three or more teams are tied, a mini league of results involving those clubs will determine the champions!
