Courts

  2. Issue developed after a match needed to be moved to courts 4/5/6 due to the conditions of the courts 7/8/9. Water was not draining away and declared unplayable for a match. Iris wrote on board and booked courts 4/5/6. Men using courts declined to move and said only Premier league matches could be played on 4/5/6/. Clarification of Rule 9 required (which was quoted as the reason why they did not need to move). Court situation needs to be looked at for future matches.
