Individual Honours

Men's Singles - The Bob Cole Trophy

The first Burnham Table Tennis League Individual Championships were held in 1966 and have been held annually since, with the exception of 2020 and 2021 when the Championships were cancelled due to the Covid pandemic.

Several individuals have achieved multiple and consecutive titles. Mark Stones (Fambridge) won consecutive tiles in 1991 and 1992, while Stuart Gibbs (Mapledene) won consecutive titles in 2010 and 2011. The current holder Reece Seddon (Mapledene) won his third title in 2024. 

Duncan Taylor (Cold Norton), Kevin Read (Mapledene) and George Reeves (Mapledene) all have 4 titles each!

Going back further, Mick Robinson won the title 3 times between 1967 and 1970, while Steve Whiteley (Maldon) was the champion 4 times between 1971 and 1984. Both are still playing in the League today.

But only one great man of the Burnham Table Tennis League has won this title 5 times - Peter Ballard (Fambridge) - who won his first title in 1989, and most recently in 2008.

Ladies' Singles - The Kathleen Kitchen Rose Bowl

In 1969-70, a Ladies’ Singles competition was added to the Championships.

The current holder, Dawn Baldry (Maldon), has won the title 7 times since 2013. But the record is currently held by Linda Roff (Mapledene) who has lifted the Rose Bowl 9 times in total.

There are several Ladies who hold multiple titles including Linda Roff (9), Dawn Baldry (7), Cath Eakin (6), Julie Askem (5), Linda Barrow (5), and Shirley Carroll who won consecutive titles in 1978 and 1979.
