Message from Brian Newton

As secretary I hope that all teams are considering entering for next season, which will be starting again in September and perhaps we can find more teams and have a longer season. Ladies teams are especially needed so we can continue with a separate league.

Darryl Burt of Skimmers won the singles competition at the Trinity Club. Mark Eavis of Puddletown Wanderers was second and Matthew Slade of Colliton Wide Boys was third.
