***FIXTURES CANCELLED***
18 FEB 2012

A representative of the league has just returned from an on site meeting at Broomfield Park. Unfortunately Enfield Council insist that the courts are safe to play on despite the existence of live moss, which has not been treated as promised, on several courts. We have done everything possible to work with Enfield Council, we take the issue of safety very seriously and in our opinion the courts are not safe for you to play on. More information to follow.
