ESSEX LEAGUES

Click here for Entry Fees & Prizes for all ECBA Competitions

The Essex League is divided into two areas – South East Essex and West Essex. The season runs from October 1st – April 30th, with approximately one match each month. Forms for the coming season are sent to all clubs and present teams in early summer. Teams can be entered by clubs, or by a group of players (up to six). There are several divisions in each section, so there is room for all standards of players.

Essex League Competitions

Have you thought about Entering the Essex Leagues? Teams is a format that many players prefer and find more relaxed. If you haven't tried it before, why not give it a go.

South-East Essex and West Essex Leagues

The Essex Leagues are teams competitions consisting of a series matches generally played in players own homes (although some teams use clubs as their home venue). Teams play approximately one match per month over the season which runs from October 1st to April 30th. The Leagues are divided into two regions: South East Essex and West Essex to minimise travelling distances as much as possible.  Teams can be entered by clubs or by a group of players (up to 6). The number of divisions depends on the number of teams in each area, and there is room for all standards of players.

If you are a pair who would like to play but without team mates, let us know and we will try to match you with a pair of similar standard.

Entry fee: £20 per team               Enter by date: 1st Sept 2016

*** NEW ***

Friendly Fours League

For players new to Teams/Leagues

We hope to introduce a new league for teams new to League competitions. Whether this will be regionalised will depend on the number of teams. The divisions should be slightly smaller than in the main leagues so there will be fewer matches to play. Matches can either be played at home or at a club if you have a nearby club who will let you play a match on their club night (normal table money would apply). This league will only be open to teams who have not played in the main leagues. Any team who wins this league in several consecutive years (number yet to be determined) may be asked to join the main league for their area.

Note: This initiative is distinct from the Club-sponsored Teams of Eight Friendly League (Click here).

If you are a pair or an individual who would like to play but without team mates, let us know and we will try to match you with a pair of similar standard. We already have a few names of players looking for teams.

We hope to run a seminar on team tactics (TBC) to which new league players will be given free entry.

The league results and tables are now hosted on the EBU Website. For your convenience, links to results are provided in the table below:-

The uninitiated may find the team names in the above tables somewhat cryptic, so the team captains are provided in the table below, as are team members where known (in some cases these have been taken from the teams from last season). 

The season has just completed, and the final placings are shown below (note that in W/1, illness forced Redbridge to default their last match against Good Guys. The result - treated as 0-12 - hadn't been entered to the EBU site when I last looked, but the sequence below is as it will be when finalised):-
