SOUTH DEVON & TORBAY TABLE TENNIS LEAGUE – SPONSORED BY ALBANY FLORISTS
PRESS REPORT – Sunday 2nd Jan
No results to report on as we are on our mid-season Christmas Break and look forward to the, hopefully uninterrupted by COVID, second half of the season.
The top division has been dominated so far by Newton Abbot TTC’s highest ranked teams, but they could still face a challenge from the talented Torbay Academy 1 squad in the New Year. NA Batmen lead the table with 51 points, with the NA Buzzards closing in on them with 49 points and 2 games in hand. The Buzzards’ Lauren Loosemore and Herbie Sage have yet to lose a game and sit at the top of the first division averages.

The second division is much tighter with any team in the division capable, on their day, of beating any of the other teams. Currently NA Falcons and Torre Titans sit at the top of the table with 41 points but NA Owls sit just 2 points behind them with 2 games in hand. The Owls’ Giles Tushingham leads the averages with 100% record, with the Falcons’ Jim McIvor on 86% and Torre Titans’ Christopher Harper on 83%.
Torre Panthers have opened up a 4 point lead at the top of the third division. NA Hawks and NA Kestrels will aim to keep the pressure on the leaders, these three are well clear of the rest of the field. The Panthers top two players Alan Tyrrell 87% & Chris Garner 83% lead the averages.
The fourth division is also led by a Torre side, Torre Thunder, who have a 5 point lead over Torbay Academy 5. Thunder’s main man, Charun Tatom, yet to be pushed close by anyone, leads the averages with 100% followed by Torbay Academy’s William Whittington who has only lost the one to Tatom.
