| DERBY VETS LEAGUE ARCHIVES | ||||||||||
| From records via Terry Fletcher from theDerby Telegraph "Green un", the Derby Vets League was formed in 1956 there being only 4 teams | ||||||||||
| Allestree,Alvaston &Boulton, D C S (DERBY CO-Op,) and Celanese (Spondon), with Allestree A,Overdale, and British Railways joining the following year. | ||||||||||
| The teams then played 6 singles, and 3 doubles, with the singles players being allowed to play in the doubles, (Much like the present Burton Vets.) | ||||||||||
| The Memorial Cup was originaly the Mayors Cup and was Derby Crown China. This must have been given to the vets for a competition now called the | ||||||||||
| Memorial Cup, which was first played for in 1986. The original division 1 cup, is now presented to the division 2 winners, with a new cup being played | ||||||||||
| for in 1969, so this must have been when Division 2 was started. A 3rd division was started in 2013,with an extra shield competition run,but tis proved | ||||||||||
| unpopular and the league reverted back to 2 divisions in 2016. The Wilf Foster doubles, and the merit singles were stopped in 2014 | ||||||||||
