League EACF Western Area

Fixtures contact: Jason Carley


This year's Open League has once again been split into two areas to make travel more manageable. There are no handicap restrictions. Last year's match format will be repeated: 2 doubles and 4 singles games for each player (match total: 20 games).

Last year Watford won the League, having won the Area and then receiving a walk-over in the regional final because the Eastern Area was not completed.
