Surrey where leading at that point.

Related - and therefore some sort of record for a family to get 29/29 in the week??! Or not related and merely a coincidence!?

I hadn't noticed, and can't find any info, but someone else here might know. I'd guess a coincidence.

Sarah Louise Bamford age 31 - Level 4 LTA coach
Neil Bamford age 36 - ex pro

The 2018 Winter County Cup is starting tomorrow, three day event 23 - 25 November. 44 teams playing indoors at eleven venues.
I'll post a bit more information as the event progresses and I see who is playing.

The top women's group (Kent, Northumberland, Hertfordshire and Essex) is playing at the University of Bath, along with the top men's group - the only joint venue.
Plenty of well-known men in their group, not quite the same with the women as the regulars are either at college or still on tour.

I see Surrey are leading the overall county cup race again, from middlesex, but those two are a fair way ahead and Surrey shoukd sew it up.

Interesting - Neither Surrey or Middlesex are in the top group in either mens or womens this week.

Elegant Point · Satellite level

Group 1 men's event has some very strong players this year. Not sure how last years winners Herts will fare as a number of their players from last years winning team are still away at college, all though my perennial favourite Neil Bamford is playing at no 1. Will be interesting to see how he fares against Paul Jubb, Liam Broady and Ryan Penniston.......

This is the current table

Not sure who is in the top groups that might upset that applecart, Herts seem to be 3rd overall

I also posted in the mens section in the Summer county cup thread.

It looks like the women's event has a significant bearing on the overall standings, with both Surrey and Middlesex having good results earlier this year. Both teams are much weaker this week, with Emily Appleton for Surrey and Tiffany William for Middlesex possibly the top ranked players. Neither Herts, Kent or Essex appear to have any ranked players. Hard one to call this time round !

Surrey heading for a good week - the men led by Joe Salisbury lead Cheshire 6-2 with one not finished, the women beat Sussex 9-0
Middlesex ladies won 8-1, but the men lost 4-5 to East of Scotland

Kent won both their matches
Hertfordshire lost both mens and womens matches (not all matches finished in either)

Haven't got round to checking all the groups yet, but Dan Evens and Lloyd Glasspool both turned out for Warwickshire, and both won their singles and doubles.
