Draws & results - Joe Farrell Pairs Trophy

Draws & Results 2025

This year we are keeping the mini-competition format for the early rounds of the Pairs competition on a similar basis to the Singles competitions. We have 24 entries and the competition will run as follows.

On Pairs 1 in the calendar, Monday 23rd June, there will be 4 mini-competitions (known as mini-comps) (each with 6 pairs) (so four current League venues will need to be used) which will work as follows:

Match 1 = Pair 1 v Pair 2
Match 2 = Pair 3 v Pair 4
Match 3 = Pair 5 v Winner Match 1
Match 4 = Pair 6 v Winner Match 2

All matches will be played on a best of 3 basis. The winners of Matches 3 and 4 in each of the mini-comps will not play the mini-comp final on this evening but will automatically qualify for the Quarter Finals on Monday 6th October where they will meet each other. The winners of each of those will reach the Semi-Finals to be played on the same night with the winners advancing to the Final which will take place on Monday 17th November. The draw is continuous so the Semi-Finals will be Winner Mini-Comp 1 v Winner Mini-Comp 2 and so on.

Organisers of each Mini-Comp will be provided with a form to record exact details of all match results for the records. 

Details of venue and organiser for each Mini-Comp will be circulated shortly. 

Please note that the format of this competition again this year means that NO postponements will be permitted. However, a team may replace a player who is not available up to the start of the first match – please inform the League Secretary and the organiser of your Mini-Comp if this proves necessary.
