Norbury's win - under the captaincy of Fred Field - was quite unexpected as their opponents, Limpsfield, are 12 divisions above them in the league. But a recent influx of new players, and a partisan crowd, helped Norbury to victory by three matches to one.

Other members of the winning team were David Lovejoy, Sam Kebreth and Saad Guerraoui.

The club's success continued in the junior section, where 10 year old Samantha Evans won the Surrey Postal under 10 championships.

A junior coaching programme starts on May 5, 2000, and the club is always looking for new talent.For details of the junior coaching programme contact David Lovejoy on 020 9251 2846. For senior application details telephone Lynne Nelson on 020 8764 8918.
