The Men’s Late Summer League fixtures start in a couple of weeks time and the fixtures will be on the Fixtures page shortly.

The Men’s team in Div 5 are on the cusp of promotion after last week’s opponents, Ecclesall C surprisingly conceded the match on Friday evening. T his now leaves the team in second position in Div 5 with one game left – an away match on Saturday the 4th July against Barnsley D.   Best wishes to all those players and hope we have something to really celebrate.

The S & D Men’s team won again on Saturday 20th June with a convincing 7-2 win.  Despite losing just one match the team stand in third position with a worse sets won percentage compared to the top two teams which are Barnsley C and Thorncliffe B . Two matches remain – Ecclesall C at home on Saturday 27th June and then Barnsley D away on the 4th July.  Lets hope one of the other teams slips up enough and we win to edge into second or first place.
