Orchard Summer Datchworth 2025 Update

Team 1 had a great season in division 1, finishing off in second place to Welwyn. It was a tight competition throughout with an excellent standard of tennis amongst all teams in the league. Huge well done to the team, it’s be a great season!


With getting relegated last yeah, team 2 showed great quality in getting promoted back up to Div 3. It came down to last 2 games of season to ensure promotion. Some great tennis played and some great cameo roles played by members, ensuring we can fulfil fixtures. Won't mention any individuals as everyone played a part in winning the title ...was the team spirit that got us over the line.


Massive season for team three as we pipped Odyssey on the last day to win the league on games difference. Great effort from all the team.


Team 4 enjoyed a season with plenty of close matches. With all to play for in the 2nd half of the season, the team put in some great performances to win 5 of the last 6 matches and secure survival in division 5 in the final match.


Team 5 have had a great season and are currently second in their division. However, Aston who are currently 4th are only 2 sets and 4 games behind us and have still to play Codicote who are bottom of the division.  Orchard are reliant on Codicote beating Aston who are a very strong side 3 0 to get promoted.
Finishing 3rd though is a great result. Well played everyone!


Team 6 had genuine opportunities to secure automatic promotion by pipping Digswell to second spot have now fallen away and we stand resplendent in mid table, we cannot be promoted (this will now be a direct head to head shoot-out between Digswell and Tewin) and we cannot be relegated.

For a newly promoted squad of limited number's we had to ensure survival and then with growing confidence and new team members blossomed. It's been a great season and the entire squad looks forward both autumn Datchworth and East Herts!
