The draw for the Ladies' League Cup 2017/18, for the 8 teams in Divisions 1 and 2, is now available - follow the 'League Cup Competitions 2017/18' link within 'LATEST TOURNAMENTS' on the homepage. The Ladies' Northumbria Cup, for the top 4 teams in the Premier, will as usual be held at the end of the season.

Provisional dates have been set for all Ladies' League Cup first round (quarter final) ties, which should be played by 8th April. Semi-final ties will be played at a 'neutral' venue (to be decided) on Tuesday 17th April, with the final at the same venue on Saturday 21st April (Presentation Night).

For each tie, both team captains should confirm their agreement to the proposed date to each other and the League Sec or suggest alternative dates as soon as possible, bearing in mind existing league fixtures, and once confirmed the home team captain should reserve courts accordingly.

Finally a reminder that in Cup ties, normal nomination / team order rules apply, and costs should be shared equally between the home and away teams.

Good luck and let me know if you have any queries.

John Thompson (League Secretary)
