Over 35s
The Over 35s County Cup gives men’s and ladies players around Britain the opportunity to represent their county in a one-off summer event.
The 44 counties are placed in 22 groups of four counties per gender. These groups are placed in order of the previous year’s results with Group 1 being the ‘premier league’.
Final positions are based on how each county performs within that particular group – with top teams getting promoted to the next group and bottom teams relegated to the group below.
Who can play?
Any player over the age of 35 can compete in the Over 35s County Cup.
