We have eight teams this season and, in addition to the normal league competition, we have the league cup which will again be under the ‘off the spot’ rule. This year the league cup is divided into two divisions; each team will play teams in their own division home and away, but they will also play teams in the other division just once each. The top team in each division will play off in the final.

Note: The Chailey Lodge team has now been replaced by the Stand Up Inn, Lindfield.

Results round-up here, further reports to follow. The rest of the silverware went mostly to the Bridge with Derek Taylor and Jenny Edwards reserving some for the host club.

League Cup ends in tie - after the last week of the League Cup (off the spot) competition the Bridge and Chailey Lodge are level on both points and matches won. The title will be decided by a play-off at the Firemans Arms on Mon 22 May.
