With a team containing only one player with previous league experience, it was always going to be hard to pick up many points. The fact that you have kept going, when week after week you are up against teams of much greater experience, does you all great credit! And, though you may not always realise it, the standard of your play IS improving. There is a lesson in this for other teams and other players - table tennis at our level is a hobby, enjoy the contest, learn a little each time you play, and don't put points above participation.
