Team news
Ladies Team
We finished solidly mid-table this year which was a good result !
Queens Cup was as competitive as ever with new joiners from RAC which was a great addition.
We welcomed Hayley Openshaw and Natalie Machin to the team who both played at number 1 and were fab. And a shout out to Esther Chak who also joined us for the second half of the season, and played a big part in a strong finish.
Alina and Alice continue to be Dulwich team stalwarts, and Sarah and Thea did a great job stepping up for the team when we needed them. A huge thanks to Wendy for always cheering from the sidelines.
This was one of our more successful seasons in recent years and looking forward to the next!

Men's Team
It was a close, but no cigar, season for the Dulwich Tandoori sponsored Men's First Team - with just one loss before Christmas, they were "table toppers" at the festive break.
However, a heavy defeat to title rivals, Limpsfield, saw them leap-frogged with just a few games to go. Despite losing just three matches all season, to Limpsfield’s five reversals, the points deficit remained, and the team were nudged into the runners-up spot by just 8 points. Despite losing talisman and captain, Gordon Harpur, to injury in February, there were standout performances by Aidan O’Brien, helping the Second Team to a solid fifth-place finish in Division 1.
The Third and Fourth Teams endured tough seasons in Division 2, but did just enough in the run-in to avoid the dreaded drop by 9 and 7 points, respectively – and yes, the 4ths did indeed finish just ahead of the 3rds!
