League Secretary's Report 6th April 2012
Countesthorpe look to celebrate their best season for some years. Their first Mixed team have won division 4A in style, finishing their season unbeaten and their men’s team are in pole position in their league. Their final mixed victory came at the expense of Melton thirds. In spite of Melton’s Sarah Boyce and Tim Walker taking all three rubbers Countesthorpe bagged the other six. In the top flight Town finish in the runners up spot after a convincing win over Leys. Longslade are the winners of division 2 after edging South’s seconds; Katie Hayes and John Cooper returning an unbeaten three rubbers for the victors. In division 3A Melton seconds will join their first team in division 2 next season after a fine win at Central. Unbeaten Leys thirds also gain promotion from division 3B with a resounding win at Zen.
In division 1 of the Ladies league South Leicestershire finish runners up after whitewashing Loughborough Leys, whilst in division 3 Loughborough Town seconds take the title after consecutive wins. In their last match of the season an unbeaten performance from Town’s Grace Coverdale and Alex Partner helped secure a narrow victory over Central.
In Mens division 2 Loughborough Leys celebrated their return to the top flight with a win at South ; Carl Bannister and Andrew Clanchy taking a maximum for the visitors. Melton booked their return to division 2 by winning division 3A after trouncing their nearest rivals. Longslade finish runners up in division 3B after edging Ashby thanks largely to a maximum from Mark Parradine and Steve Adams. Countesthorpe’s home win over Hoton sets up a title decider in division 5B later this month.
In the final matches of the Hall league Central avoid the relegation spot after a creditable draw against champions Town in division 1, and Enderby finish runners up in division 2 narrowly missing out on the title to Leys seconds.
