Summer League

We have 2 teams in this years Hampshire Summer League. Winchester 1 is captained by Russell Brooks, email address russell@muddybootslandscaping.co.uk Winchester 2 is captained by Matt Aldridge, email address Matthew.Aldridge@marks-and-spencer.com  If you are interested in playing, please contact the captains directly.

The team is open to all club members except Premier league players and Juniors.  Although primarily a social league, players should be of a good team standard.  The team comprised 3 men and 2 ladies.  Full details of how the league is run are shown below.

Objective: To provide an arena for social squash to be played competitively through out the summer. The league is not sponsored and the costs are balanced by the entry fees. Prizes are awarded to the overall winners and runners up, plus a wooden spoon to the bottom club.

1. The games will be American Scoring, best of 5, 14-14 will play to set 16.
2. Teams will consist of 5 players with a minimum of 2 ladies who must play in order of ability. i.e. Stronger Ladies may now play men. As this is a social league we ask teams NOT to play juniors. Teams are also requested not to field regular players from the men's winter premier league in any county (more than 3 times means regular).
3. Anyone who has played more that 3 times for a premier team in the previous winter season can only play if they ring the opposition and agree with them to find someone of equal ability.
4. Also due to a lack of lady players, I will allow lower league ladies to play for more that one team (as long as they have not played regular in the ladies top league).
5. All games must be played on either a Wednesday or Thursday night.
6. Clubs with more than one team cannot interchange players.
7. The top team from leagues A,B,C,D will compete in the finals. Only players who have played a minimum of four games will be eligible unless agreed by the Organizers.
8. The Organizers decision is final.
9. Bottom club will be invited to come and receive their prize on the night of the final.
10. Results sheet must be posted or e-mailed by both teams as soon as possible after the match. E-mail address is Farooq.Mirza@telent.com In the interest of saving the planet the match card is an A4 sheet that is e-mailed or sent by post, extra copies can be photocopied as necessary.
