Last Thursday evening saw the first match of the annual York League, with Leeds taking on Westow away at their new terrain approximately 15 miles to the north of York. The format of the York league changed a few years ago and the weekly matches are now made up of five games – two triples followed by three doubles.
The team for our first match comprised Alan, Charles, Gavin, Mike, Paul, and Richard, and after the first round of triples Leeds had won both of our games. The three doubles followed, and after dropping just one game all evening Leeds were able to celebrate in the sunset with a 4-1 overall result. Congratulations team!
This week the West Yorkshire league is playing at home to Wetherby (tomorrow, Tuesday 14th May at 2pm) and the York League is also at home to Wigginton (Thursday 16th May at 6:30pm). So why not come down to the Vesper Gate to watch and support the teams? Pom-poms are optional, although highly recommended.
