Summer 2025 HDIBC Club Finals

Congratulations to all the winner and finalists of the club's summer competitions. A terrific weekend of sport played in the most magnificent spirit. A huge shout out to Joyce Archibald for making it all possible and the small army of people behind the scenes that contributed to catering, organisation and officiating. Great work. Winter 25/26 Competition Entry Forms are now online and in the concourse for those looking to participate. 

A big shout out for Team Fozzie

Congratulations to everyone who played for Team Fozzie this summer. After 20 weeks the league was decided by the outcome of singles game played on the very last round of matches. A big shout out to everyone who played their part in a magnificent season, to the 8 brave souls who managed and coordinated teams, to Kit and Jon who pimped their "skills" to make up the numbers for anyone that needed them, and to Andrew, who for the last 12 weeks has put a shift in to enable the draws to take place. Hugs and kisses to Kermit, Gonzo and Animal for giving the league their very best shot.

The Winter FFS league will launch in early October. 37 players have signed up to date. Entries close on Wednesday Sept 24th. If you wish to play then pop me a mail to chris@harpendenibc.co.uk.

Another big shout out for the day time Triples League winners

Congratulations to Team Three for a fantastic win in the Summer 2025 Daytime Triples League. Another league that came down to the last round of matches to decide the winners. Congratulations to everyone involved. A special thank you to Grahame Hiller and everyone involved in the league's organisation and management. None of this is possible without the hard work and generosity of those who volunteer their time and boundless energy.
