League EACF Western Area

Fixtures contact: Geoff Johnson


This year's Open League has once again been split into two areas to make travel more manageable. There are no handicap restrictions. Last year's match format will be repeated: 2 doubles and 4 singles games for each player (match total: 20 games).

Last year Watford came 4th in the Western Area, having won the League in the previous three years.
