With the new season underway, there are 18 teams playing in 3 Senior divisions which is the same number as last season. There has been a decrease in the Veterans Teams by 2, which leaves 10 teams; as a result we are playing this as one division with all the teams playing each other once. However, there has been an increase in the Junior entries which has resulted in 4 divisions.

Stephen Jenkins made a welcome return to the Championship representing TTK Greenhouse and won all his matches 3 – 0 to have a 100% average. The 3 Cardiff players Owen Clutterbuck, Neil Wright & David Owen were also unbeaten, so the next round should throw up some intriguing matches.
