Toads Cup Fever!

The draw has been made for the matches and venues for the semi-finals of both the Plate and the Cup, to be played Monday 2nd March. All kick-off (or throw up?) at 2000

Cup:

Black Horse v Long Man TH @ Elephant and Castle

Rodmell v Royal Toads @ Lewes Arms

Plate:

Free Hands v British Queen @ Blacksmiths Arms

Blacksmiths Arms v Plough Puddocks @ Pelham Arms

No matches will be televised, so you have to be there in person to see all the action.....

Remember, remember the 25th of November!

Yes, that's the date for some of Sussex's finest toad in the hole players to go enter the annual Singles Tournament. Taking place at Lewes' Elephant and Castle pub from 2000, it's an excellent opportunity to pit yourself against (or watch) the county's toad elite!

And they're off - again!

All toad enthusiasts will be delighted to learn that the website has been updated with pages featuring the new season fixture lists and first week's results, league tables, 8s scored and all the new team contact details.

With opening week 7-0 victories in Division 1 for Rodmell and Black Horse, is it a case of "plus ça change"?

Good luck to all in the new season and stay tuned for updates!

August 14, 2019


It will soon be TOAD TIME!  The new season kicks off (or throws up?) on Monday October 7.

Teams need to be registered by September 30 so the fixture computer can do its work.

And before that the league's AGM takes place at the Elephant and Castle in Lewes on Monday September 16..

So now you know....

The Lewes and District Toad League is nearing the end of the season and there is still plenty to play for in both divisions. But for one week only, league matters are put to one side and the Cup takes centre stage.

Next Monday, March 18,  sees semi-finals in both the Cup and the Plate, so if you want to take in a game live (none of these matches being televised), here are the details:

Rodmell v Snowdrop (playing at Red Lion, Willingdon)



PLATE
