About EPOCH
The Ellesmere Port league celebrated
its 70th Anniversary in 2007 and the Chester league is of a very
similar age.
To promote the game in the area and
hopefully improve the standard and attract new players to the
league it was agreed in 1997/8 to set up a Premier division
using the top 4 teams from both the leagues and this duly took
place with a joint committee
in place to oversee any problems.
This step proved to be a major success and in the season 2005/6 it was agreed to take the next stage and amalgamate the fixtures for all the divisions with the proviso that the leagues remain separate when it comes to cup competitions and tournaments etc. and keep their own committees.
This has been in operation now for 4 seasons and has been a popular move as well as attracting new teams and players especially from North Wales which has added to the general strength of the playing standards.

We believe we are the largest league
in Cheshire with 37 teams in 4 divisions, and our Town team
competes in the Premier division of the
Lancashire/Cheshire league. We also
have 2 successful Veterans sides , one in Division 1, the other
in division 3 , and our ladies team have entered
the National Rose Bowl cup this
season.
The symbol EPOCH seemed appropriate
being a combination of letters from the two towns ,but also the
fact that the amalgamation in 2005
marked a new era for the game of
table tennis in the area.
