Mini tournament against Cottingham Rangers (from Hull)
We have a touring team from Hull visiting in November and we propose playing two friendly mini tournaments, both in Olhao, on Tuesday 7th and Friday 10th November and finished by lunchtime.
We need two teams for each day and we will play a round robin format and be finished by lunchtime; it is open to all players, very relaxed, and maybe an opportunity for players who have not played in tournaments before?
Please could you let us know if you are interested in playing and on which day by email (click here). This is the week before John’s Olhao tournament
Over 60s sessions to start in Olhao on Tuesday October 10th

Normal time/venue etc, but on a Tuesday!
See you there……
