League EACF Western Area

Fixtures contact: Geoff Johnson

This years' Open League within the EACF Region will provisionally adopt the fixtures that would have been played last year if they had not been cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic. It has been split into two areas to make travel more manageable, with each area containing 4 clubs who play each other twice, once at home and once away. There are no handicap restrictions, and the match format has also been revised this year to include 2 doubles and 4 singles games for each player (match total: 20 games).

In 2019 Watford were third in the Area.

The Eastern Area played too few games for any winner to be determined, so Watford won the final.
