| The launch in October of the Kleinwort
Benson Cambridge League (KBCL) has given over 70
members the chance to enjoy competitive, convenient and professionally
marked tennis. Tables setting out the results of the completed
matches are provided below and links to the fixtures are shown
on the right.
The KBCL has three divisions spanning the 30 to 70 handicap
range. Five teams of five players compete in each division.
Courtesy of Kleinwort Benson,
members representing teams only pay for court time when they
play. All the costs of marking by the professionals, KBCL
shirts and prizes are covered.
The first division is for teams of players with handicaps
30-46 (Monday evenings); the second division for players with
handicaps of 46-55 (Tuesday evenings) and third division for
players of handicaps 55-70 (Wednesday evenings).
Each team in a division plays each of the others twice,
once as the home team, when they provide the refreshments,
and once as the away team. Fixtures are played as
three singles matches each best of three sets (the third set,
if needed starts at 3-3). Teams are of five players, but only
three play in each fixture providing flexibility to players
and captains alike.
We are very grateful to Michael Magnay
and Kleinwort
Benson for their generous sponsorship. As anticipated
the KBCL is proving a very popular and important
addition to the programme of fixtures and other events held
at the Club.
Our thanks go also to Scott and particularly Peter for their
expert marking, organisation and result entry.
Kleinwort Benson, one of the UK’s
longest established and most innovative providers of total
