2023 Horam League:
The Horam League teams have done well with Groombridge 1st team coming 3rd out of 6 teams in the 1st division, losing to Crowborough 1st team & Cross-in Hand’s 1st team, and Groombridge 2nd team coming 4th in the 2nd division. There have been some fantastic matches with some tricky battles, but all in all very enjoyable, and the teams have done well.

2022 Horam League – East Sussex inter-club competition Our two teams did really well this year, both teams came 3rd in their divisions.
The 2nd team were promoted to 2nd Division this year, their competitors were teams from the clubs at Newick, East Hoathly, Wadhurst & Maresfield. Team captain Lee Savage says ‘After promotion last season it was satisfying to come third in the 2nd division this year. We’re hoping to build on this success next year.’
The 1st team were competing against teams from Crowborough, Cross in Hand , Hailsham and Mayfield. Team captain Dave Hankey says: ‘After a difficult start to the season in terms of results, I'm pleased to say the team finished 3rd (out of 6) in Division 1. Crowborough and Cross in Hand had some very strong players, and came 1st and 2nd, for Groombridge to then end the season 3rd was a great performance.’
In the Horam knock-out tournament we got through to the finals for the mixed doubles, the Crowborough team were unfortunately too strong and took the cup

2021 Horam League Results
We enter two teams into the friendly inter-club Horam League every Summer.
Team 1 - report
Cross in Hand beat us into silver medal place, to use the Olympic term, by HALF A POINT. So yet again we finished 2nd, you'd think they would let us win the thing once!
Final top 3 placings: X in Hand 15; Groombridge 14.5; Crowborough 14
Very well done to all the team, many thanks for turning out often is miserable
weather and playing so well.
Team 2 - report
Delighted to say we were successful in winning the Division 3 Horam League by three clear points and with the best games average across all the divisions! Thanks all for playing and looking forward to next year in Division 2. Well Played!
2019 HORAM LEAGUE RESULTS
Dave and Ollie won the Knock Out Section of the Mixed Doubles Horam League!!
We enter two teams into the friendly inter-club Horam League every Summer.
One ladies doubles, one mens, and one mixed pair play local clubs both at home and away on monday evenings between April and August.
Division 1 - report
GTC came second this year, just behind Cross in Hand. The team played extremely well and probably would have won had it not been for injuries early on in the season. In two of the early rounds we were unable to field a mixed pair and so lost vital points!
The standard of tennis was really high and I would like to thank the whole team for rising to the challenges and doing it in such a friendly way. Well done to all. Robert Katzaros
Division 2 - report
Its been an extra challenging season for Team 2 with a number of players injured. However, a number of new Horam League players as well as regular players have made a valuable contribution to Monday evenings and we're developing some effective pairings for next year's season.
Coming up against some long-established teams, some of whom are First Team players for their club, we have struggled to win several long competitive matches but I feel we've gained good experience and look forward to another season from April 2020.
I am delighted to announce that we've managed to hold a place in Division 2 - every single game counted so thank you to all 2019 Team 2 players for your effort. Debbie Robson
