Selection 2012-13
Monday, October 8, 2012 at 6:29PM Hi everyone.
Hope you are all geared up for the match-playing part of the new season. Please find attached the current version of our fixtures list for the coming season. Because of limited court hours, and an increasing number of teams who play matches on Friday night, there are still three fixtures which need finalising which is part of the reason why there has been a delay in getting this list out to you. Hopefully, the rest should not need to be changed again.
Due to a number of ladies turning up this year and deciding not to join Hurst, we have a really limited number of ladies available for matches. This means that we cannot currently confirm that we will be able to put out a Mixed 3 team this year, which would be a real shame as the team got promoted from Division 3 to Division 2 last season. If you know of ladies of a reasonable standard who might be interested in playing for us, please invite them down. And if new ladies do turn up, please do talk to them and make them feel welcome.
Also, please be aware that match fees of £5 per match will be collected after the match by team captains this year, rather than paid direct to Dianne.
As is the case every year, the selection committee (this year, Di, Jo, David, Sam and Alex) have been checking out your performances over the last month and these, together with your results from previous seasons, have resulted in our team selection for the coming season.
The teams are shown on the team pages.
Pairings have been suggested within each mixed team, but are ultimately the responsibility of the team captain. For Mens and Ladies, the pairings are entirely at the discretion of the team captain. In the event that any of the main team members are unable to play, selection of reserves is also at the discretion of the captain.
Good luck for the season ahead!
The Hurst Selection Committee
