On Saturday 23rd July DLTC will be running a free open junior group session for ages 5 to 11. The session will run from approximately 10am to 12pm.

This session will be open to both members and non members, so if you know a family who might be interested please let them know about this event

Aspects of the sessions will require pairing up so it would be great if a parent/ guardian could attend and participate with, and compete against the junior however this is not essential.

Veterans Tournament 2016!

The deadline for entry to the Veterans Tournament has been extended to 18th June 2016. 

Pop your name on the list in the Clubhouse or email Jane janeyr9@gmail.com. 
The format this year will be Fast4.

Good luck!


Rules for Fast4:


Each match would be best of three sets, and each set follows the following rules:
1.       First to four games wins
2.       Tie-break at 3-3
a.       First to five points win
b.      No need to win by two – sudden death at 4-4
c.       Change ends after four points
d.      Each player serves two points in turn, but at 4-4 the player (or team) who served second will serve the final point. So in doubles:
                                                         i.            Player A1 serves two points
                                                       ii.            Player B1 serves two points
                                                      iii.            Player A2 serves two points
                                                     iv.            Player B2 serves two points
                                                       v.            Player B1 serves one point
3.       No advantage scoring
4.       Play lets on serve - In doubles, if the serve hits the net cord and falls in, the non-receiving player can return the ball
