Mellerup Cup
2024 - Sunday 23rd June
Back for 2024 the Mellerup Cup is being organised for Sunday 23rd June to run during the existing Sunday Morning club session (10am - 2pm)
It's hoped that this would give us the best pool of people available to play in this tournament. The format is also up for review to address the timing concerns of having the tournament run all day.

It was great to bring back the Mellerup Cup tournament after a few years of it not being able to be run!
The weather was perfect and made all the more enjoyable by the fantastic spread of cakes and bakes provided by everyone that turned out. The winners were Matt Lorkin & Janine Harris [pictured] with the runners up of Phil and Ange Morris.
Thanks to all those that participated to make the event as good as it was. If anyone has any feedback, ideas or preferences for future tournaments / formats then please get in touch.
