Congratulations to Hertfordshire Men and Ladies - double champions.

There are a number of undefeated players in the week - although not all have made it into the 15-15 club, as some matches either weren't played or weren't completed (or weren't achievable due to withdrawal of a team). A big shout out to Emily Arbuthnott though, for achieving the 15 for the third time.

(For info about the 15-15 club read this PDF and for the roll of honour (not yet including this week) see this pdf

Hertfordshires double success in both womens and mens Group 1 events at Eastbourne was the 20th time in the tournaments illustrious history that the same county had emerged victorious in the elite division.

Meanwhile, Yorkshire women and Kent women were relegated from Group 1 and will be replaced by Group 2 winners, Leicestershire, and runners-up, Nottinghamshire, in the 2023 LTA County Cup.

In the mens section, Cambridgeshire and Essex were relegated from Group 1, with Surrey and Suffolk taking their places after finishing first and second respectively in Group 2.

Cant see the 15-15 club updated info

Not sure why this is in the Men's section, as it should really be in the General section, as it is both Men's and Women's.

County Week started today. There is a 21 page brochure onthe LTA website which gives a lot of information, including group tables, teams and players etc.
It can be downloaded here

Some of the links are live. I just checked and found some matches that may have been moved indoors - played to four games only.

Surrey men just pipped Herts to the title on rubbers won, although Herts did win their head-to head 7-2. Herts women are champions for the fourth consecutive year.

No 15/15's this year in the top groups, but lower down this feat was achieved by Halle Pringle/Francesca Simpson (Durham and Cleveland), Oliver Haig/Alfie King (Cheshire) and Alexander Maggs/Alexander Parker (Hereford and Worcester) plus Aaron Osmond (Gloucestershire).

Commiserations to a number that just missed out, including Madeleine Brooks and Amy Partridge of Norfolk in Group 2 who missed out by losing their final match 10-8 in a MTB, finishing with a 14-1 record.
