SOUTH DEVON & TORBAY TABLE TENNIS LEAGUE – SPONSORED BY ALBANY FLORISTS

PRESS REPORT – Sunday 9th Jan

 

Just a handful of matches as we kick off the second half of the season following our Christmas break, the full league programme returns next week.

An outstanding performance from the country’s leading 11 year-old, Kacper Piwowar, was not enough to blunt NA Buzzards drive to the top of the first division table. Piwowar eased through his matches for a superb maximum but the Buzzards all round team performance saw them keep their unbeaten run as they defeated Torbay Academy (1) 5-4. Skipper Sonja Ryland, back in the team this week after a two year lay-off alongside Kevin Nicholls and Lauren Loosemore, steered the team to victory! The Buzzards, in action twice this week, rounded off a good week with a convincing 8-1 victory over Halwell A opening an 11 point gap at the top of the first division over club rivals NA Batmen. Herbie Sage and Kevin Nicholls both with maximums for the Buzzards, Hallwell’s Mick Mercer’s victory over Sonja Ryland preventing the whitewash.

In the third division Torbay Academy 4 defeated NA Ospreys 5-4 despite a fine maximum from the Ospreys’  Henry Greet.  The match between the two teams who win plenty of sets but have yet to record a victory was, as expected, very close. Dawlish edged the win 5-4 over the Grove at Totnes thanks to another maximum from Jason Prescott.

 

Will Whittington was again unbeaten as his Torbay Academy 5 side regained the leadership of the fourth division with a 6-3 victory over a depleted NA Kites.  In an all Newton Abbot affair NA Merlins defeated NA Harriers 5-4 despite another maximum from the Harriers’ Keith Haslam
