Were Ready For The Off.

Clubs have now confirmed teams for this season and I pleased to inform you that we will have 8 -3 player teams competing. We hoped to start week commencing 28th October I will confirm this as soon as we get the home nights and contact details. This will be the Lecale Leagues 67th season so I would like to thank you for your club for its continuing support. We also need to make full use of the internet so I will be posting on this web site all fixtures and team contact details which will save having to circulate this to your members. I will also post a score card to email with teams photos which is the quickest and most cost effective way to get match results to me. I also recognise that not everyone has the opportunity to read local newspapers so I will also be including match reports on the Lecale this site. Finally I ask clubs to frequently visit the Lecale League whatsapp group which is open to all members for updates on the League and share with members what’s happening in your club. May I take this opportunity on behalf of the Lecale League committee to wish your club a successful and equally important enjoyable season ahead. Jim League Secretary

New table tennis club in Castlewellan

The history of Castlewellan and district as a table tennis force is well known. As founder members of the Lecale table tennis league in the late 50s when the town were triple league winners to the emergence of Carnacaville where many of next generation of local players contributed to further successes and finally Aughlisnafin who won a number of intermediate and senior title before its demise in the 80’s which ended Castlewellan association with the sport. But that’s all about to change with the formation of a new club in the town. The man behind the new initiative is John Huyton, one of the local table tennis leading players. The club is based at St Malachy's Parish Centre on Monday from 8-10pm. I am encouraged by the response I have received, said John and I'm confident that before too long we will see the town playing competitive table tennis again. We have practice bats to get you started and coaching is also available. To find out more, drop into the centre and enjoy the sport of table tennis.
