The New Hall team lost 9-11 against Loughborough Leys New Hall 2 last night, in a closely fought contest.

After drawing 10-10 in the away fixture back in November, the team knew it would be another match played with fine margins. Croakers were down 5-7 after the singles and doubles games and couldn't quite overturn that lead, drawing the mixed games 4-4. The team was composed of Samira, Ayesha, Jing, Henri, Raheel and Lee.

That was the last match of a successful season in division 2. The number one priority was to stay in the division and that has been achieved, so well done to everyone who contributed to a successful campaign. I'm sure David, the team captain, would like to pass on his thanks.

Here's to another successful season in 2016/17.

It's been over a month since their last match, but Croakers' New Hall team blew the dust from a scoresheet and won 15-5 against Hermitage Lakeside New Hall 1 on Friday.

Croakers started strongly, coming away with a 9-3 scoreline after the singles, men's and ladies' doubles. The team then continued to dominate, winning the mixed games 6-2. The team was comprised of Claire, Samira, Ayesha, David, Lee and Raheel.

David, the team captain, said, "Well played team! A good effort all round and a pleasure playing with you all."

On Friday last week, our New Hall team lost 3-17 to a strong Loughborough Leys New Hall 1 team and came away with more injury woes.

Before the match even started, both teams were without a third lady and the relevant games were conceded. Unfortunately, during the first ladies' doubles game, Jing rolled her ankle and was unable to continue, which meant that the remaining games involving Jing were also conceded. We wish Jing a speedy recovery.

The team was composed of Caroline, Jing, David, Alex and Lee.
