ALBANY FLORISTS-SPONSORED SOUTH DEVON & TORBAY TABLE TENNIS LEAGUE

A top of the table clash in the First Division saw the leaders Torbay Academy 1 narrowly defeat Brixham Sharks 6-4, and open up an 18-point lead with 3 matches to go. Kris Piwowar was again the man of the match for the Academy.  NA Batmen move up into the runners-up spot with a whitewash victory over Brixham Pirates, and NA Buzzards keep up their interest with a 9-1 win over Brixham Gulls. Injury and availability issues for both Halwell and Brixham Gulls meant points being given away in both of their matches, with Halwell going down 5-4 to the Gulls and 8-2 to Torbay Academy 2.

NA Falcons hit the top of the 2nd Division following an 8-2 win at Marldon, as David Davies and Ed Crawford took maximums for the Falcons. Club colleagues NA Eagles moved into the runners-up position, following a 7-3 victory at Torbay over Academy 4, whose Tom Ricketts, making a rare appearance, collected all of the Academy’s points.  Alan Maynard was in fine form for his Brixham Trawlers side, who he led to a 7-3 victory over the Taverners at Bishopsteignton.

In the Third Division, the Dawlish Diamonds trio of Bruce Freeman, Jim Saunders and Martin Charlesworth whitewashed the Kestrels from Newton Abbot. Torbay Academy 5, who had a poor start to the season, are finding their feet now, and their latest victory included a maximum from Elsa Perry in a 7-3 win at Brixham over the Dolphins.

The two Torbay Academy sides in the Fourth Division are opening up a bit of a gap at the top. Both sides had 9-1 victories this week over Dawlish teams. Leaders Academy 7 were winners over Dawlish Drifters, while colleagues Academy 6 defeated the Dodgers.  A Peter Sercombe maximum helped his NA Vultures team to a narrow 6-4 victory over club mates NA Ospreys.  Torres R Us bounced back from last week’s defeat with a fine 8-2 victory over NA Kites, as Andrew Davies and Bill Keywood took maximums for the Torre side.
