The draw and dates to be played by are know on the Singles and Doubles Tab

The draw for the next rounds of the cup games are on the LM and AF tab

The teams with remaining fixtures in the groups have been given a further 4 weeks to get them played. Can you make sure that they are all completed by the next meeting which is the 25th March. Failure to do so could see your team miss out on the finals. Please remember when looking at the standings on the system, that the total points scored is not what is needed. It is the aggregate score (The one to the left of the total points) which will determine who goes through. The system is placing teams with the most points at the top which is in-correct and will be ironed out for next season.

There are only 18 teams this year in the league. After much consideration and playing around with fixtures, it has been decided that Div 1 will be 10 teams and Div 2 will be 8 teams, each division playing once home and away against other teams in the division..With the change in the Upton Cup teams that are in Div 2, realistically will play more games than if the cup was in it's old format and 10 teams in the division, so the reduction in teams should not affect revenue at the clubs. 

At the AGM it was proposed and carried that in oder to extend the season by a few weeks the Upton Cup would take the form of a round robin competition. The league only has 18 teams this year, therefore, the Upton Cup will run on a 6 team, 3 division basis for the first five rounds. The groups will be based on league position after matches completed on 16th December 2009 with the top 6 in Div 1 being group A, the bottom 4 in Div 1 and the top 2 in Div 2 being group B and the bottom 6 in Div 2 being group C. The top team in each group, plus the highest scoring runner up of all groups will go through to the semi final. This will mean that each team will play at least 5 games in the Upton Cup. Each round will be scored on an aggragte basis (minus or plus handicap).
