The Datchworth is a competitive but friendly tennis league, with 109 teams from 27 Hertfordshire clubs.

Strange - the weather usually gets better after Wimbledon, but this year we've had a mostly dry Wimbledon with the rain afterwards!

Please note that any matches postponed from today and for the remaining three weeks of the league must be played AND have the results submitted by 10pm on Monday August 11th.

Please also note that Rupe may have limited access to e-mail from 7pm Monday 7th July until midday Tuesday 8th July, so any reports of postponements, queries etc during that time may not be acknowledged until after midday Tuesday. This will not affect result input/table updating so the website should be updated as normal tonight and tomorrow morning.

***NEW*** 2008 DATCHWORTH CUP 1ST ROUND DRAW - SEE CUP PAGE FOR INFO


**IMPORTANT** Please note and follow the rule changes voted in at the AGM. Main ones are:
a) Results must be submitted within 48hrs of matches being played otherwise BOTH teams awarded 0 sets 0 games (home or away team can submit result). YOU MUST EMAIL OR CALL RUPERT RUSSELL TO INFORM HIM IF ANY MATCHES ARE POSTPONED - for whatever reason - if you do not do this then the match will be assumed 'NOT PLAYED' and both teams will be awarded 0 sets, 0 games. Notification of a postponement must also be within 48 hours of the scheduled fixture date.
b)There is no need to submit paper results but hang onto scoresheets until after the league finishes in case of disputes.
c) County players of intermediate standard and above can play in divisions 1&2 of Summer League.
d) Matches may be postponed by mutual agreement but must be played within 5 weeks of the original fixture date and result submitted within 48hrs of fixture being played. As above, please let Rupert know of any postponments.

Autumn League
The summer league has only 3 matches to go so it is time to think about the Autumn League, which starts on Saturday 6th September. A draft version is published below based on 2 up/down from last year's final positions. Please let me (Roy Button) know by 27th July if you wish to add or remove a team. If you are happy with the same number of teams as last season do nothing. I can't guarantee a new team will be accepted - it depends on drop-outs, or if we get enough teams to form a new division. Don't forget the default match time is Saturdays at 1:00 but this can be changed by the home team to any reasonable time to suit court availability. Any comments or ideas please get back to me.
