"Apparently the greens at the normal venue, Rylands Rec in Warrington, are not up to scratch so, late in the day, we have come to the rescue," said a proud Jennings.
"The veterans will start at 9.30am and is a full day event, but we will still be staging the Tanners Team Doubles on the same greens that night, though some ties may have to be switched around."
