The 2025/6 season of the Staines & District Table Tennis League (STTL) starts on Monday October 6th.
The fixtures, results, teams and individual averages can all be followed on the STTL website:
Here is a message from Alan Boyle, STTL Chairman:
This season we will have two divisions of 9 and 10 teams. The decision to have two divisions was made after the majority of players voted for two divisions.
Last season it was brought to the committee’s attention of a couple of incidents during matches that were not in the spirit of the game and I must draw your attention to the league’s Code of Conduct for players and coaches below, with particular respect to items 6 and 9.
Good luck to all teams this season and have an enjoyable season.
