Summer League 2024

The summer league starts on 22nd May 2024 this year, and because last year we started the winter season later than normal (late October) due to a longer summer season, we have reformatted the divisions to allow us to finish at the end of August this year.

With 21 teams registered, we looked at the 22 from last year and split them up as below with teams dropping out and 3 new(ish) teams coming in.

Here is the new structure

Division 1Division 2Division 3
SWCC B
WEST END CLUB
GEOERGE & DRAGON B
LUTTERWORTH CLUB A
OLD CROWN A
WIGSTON & DIST CC C
GEORGE & DRAGON A
RAILWAY A

BLACK HORSE
EARL SHILTON CC
RAILWAY B
LORD NELSON
Black Horse is new summer team as is Lord Nelson and Earl Shilton as less than 6 players transferred from the ESCC from last summer. Top 2 teams from division 2 moved up to division 1 and join the top 5 from last season. The rest all filtered down to the other divisions depending on the final standings.

Unfortunately due to the small amount of tables used across the 21 teams (14 share a table), it has meant that the scheduling on games has been hard to allow for home and away games each week for all teams, so we will have some clumps of home and aways (i.e. 2 aways followed by 2 homes, sometimes 3) but hopefully you understand that this format will be more of a benefit to everyone, including an extra division winner to play for and entry into the champions cup.

Also we do have bye weeks still but only allowed for 1 in each division, so we don’t get teams having several weeks without a game.

So enjoy the new season and good luck!
