COUNTY TABLE TENNIS RESULTS on Saturday 17-Feb-2007

 

Veteran Division 4C Hereford 2nd played their final double fixture at Reading against Berkshire 3rd and Surrey 5th with the first resulting in a 5-5 draw earning a point and the second a 3-7 loss- their only defeat. They have a good chance of coming runners-up again, but will have to wait for other teams to finish their final fixtures on 31st March. 

 

Against Berkshire Harry Jutle started off with a win in straight sets to lead 1-0, but this was followed by a defeat for Paul Coleman also in straight sets. Dave restored the lead again in straight sets and increased it to 3-1 in the 1st mixed doubles with Carol Milnes in 4 sets. Harry lost his 2nd singles in straight sets as he was unable to cope with his opponent’s serves, followed by a defeat for Carol in her singles in the 5th set for the score at 3-3. Dave and Paul restored the lead again with a win in the men’s doubles in 4 sets, but Berkshire struck back again defeating Paul in 4 sets in his 2nd singles. Dave restored the lead once again in 4 sets, but were unable to prevent the opposition striking back in the 2nd mixed doubles, although fortunate at times to win it in the 5th set at deuce- 2 earlier also at deuce for the 5-5 draw.

 

Against Surrey it was always going to be tough as they are the Chelsea equivalent who are masters at grinding out results and remain undefeated. Harry started off 0-2 down before being able to cope with the ferocious pace and spins of lefthander and penholder Winston Wong to lose in 4 sets. Paul fought well in a close match to win it in 5 for 1-1. Dave made it 2-1 in straight sets, and this was the only time Hereford led the match. Dave and Carol lost the 1st mixed doubles in 4 sets, followed by a defeat for Harry also in 4 sets. Carol lost her singles in straight sets, followed by a tremendous men’s doubles match. Dave and Paul led 10-6 in the 5th set but were unable to finish it off. Paul lost his 2nd singles in straight sets, followed by another tremendous match between Dave and Wong which finally ended in a defeat for Dave in the 5th set for the score at 2-7. Harry and Carol finished the match with a win in the 2nd mixed doubles in 4 sets for a final score of 3-7. 

Scores against Berkshire 3rd: Dave White 11-3, 11-6, 11-6 and 11-7, 11-8, 9-11, 11-5. Harry Jutle 11-9, 11-4, 11-8 and 6-11, 7-11, 3-11. Paul Coleman 3-11, 6-11, 3-11 and 9-11, 9-11, 11-6, 6-11. Carol Milnes 11-6, 8-11, 11-5, 8-11, 4-11. Dave and Carol in the 1st mixed doubles 11-8, 11-7, 11-13, 11-3. Dave and Paul in the Men’s doubles 11-5, 6-11, 11-9, 11-4. Harry and Carol in the 2nd mixed doubles 11-6, 10-12, 10-12, 11-6, 10-12.

 

Veteran Division 4B Hereford 3rd played hosts to Northamptonshire 3rd at Green Farm Table Tennis Centre, Allensmore, resulting a 1-9 loss in their 4th fixture. Bob Trimble lost one of his singles in a 5th set to Jamie Chamberlain. The single win came from the last game of the day for Bob and Margaret Shock in the 2nd mixed doubles also in the 5th set against Muriel Cox and Richard Bashford. The 1st mixed doubles for Margaret and Brian Kitchener , and a singles for Captain David Knowles against Gerald Henson were pushed into 4th sets. The visitors were too strong and won the rest in straight sets.

TABLE TENNIS COUNTY SENIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS

 

The Herefordshire County Table Tennis Championships were played at Queen Elizabeth’s High School, Bromyard on Sunday 18th March 2007.

 

45 men and women took part and played in ten different events.

 

In the Men’s Singles the four seeded players all reached the semi-final stage, which  along with the final, will be played on Friday night at Bromyard.  Mark Owen, seeded No.1 and attempting to win his 23rd title in the event, dropped his opening game to Nick Price but then went on to win all his other games.  The No.2 seed, Ola Andersson also dropped just one game on his way through, but this was in the quarter final against Greg Price.  Chris Martin had three straight game wins but Toby Eckley was given a tough five game set at the same stage, eventually winning by 1, -9, -7, 10 and 10 against Alistair Dawson.  These two players complete the semi-final line up.

 

There were only four ladies competing for their singles title and Ann Barnes, defending her title for the third time, will be playing Carol Milnes in the final on Friday night.

 

In the Restricted Open event both top seeds won through to the final and No.1 seed, Ola Andersson took all his in straight games.  Lincoln Franklin in the No.2 spot only dropped one game.  In the course of this competition three of the matches went to five games and another eight went to four games.  In the first round Brian Kitchener – a newcomer to the County – beat Bob Marshall by -9, -6, 9, 9 and 7 and then beat Nigel Foreshew by 7, -3, 9 and 6.  In the fourth round he lost to Ola.  Colin Dolding had a notable match with Steve Knight winning by -7, 6, 10, -13 and 5 but he then lost to Lincoln Franklin.  Ola and Lincoln will play on Friday.

 

The other Restricted Singles – for anyone excluding the top ten players – saw the No.2 seed, Harry Jutle, win through but only after two four game sets, one of just 3 games and the semi-final, against Roland Close, going to him by 5, -7, 6, -7 and 8.  The No.1 seed Alistair Dawson had two wins in straight games before bowing out to Bob Trimble with a score of 6, -6, 5 and 8.

 

In the Men’s Doubles Mark Owen and his partner, Andy Castle won their way through reasonable comfortably to the final stage but the No.2 seeds, Nigel Foreshew and Lincoln Franklin, after winning against James Palmer and Colin Dolding by -9, 6, 6 and 12 in the quarter final, lost to Ola Andersson and Toby Eckley by 7, -9, -6 and -5.

 

The Ladies’ Doubles event is a straight final on Friday between Carol Milnes & Margaret Shock and Ann Barnes & Sue Segust.   All these ladies featured in the Mixed Doubles and Ann and her partner, Dave White, will be meeting Carol and Nigel Foreshew on Friday evening in the final.

 

Four events were played through to a finish on Sunday and notable amongst these were the Audrey Lawrence Memorial Handicap where players get handicapped at each stage.  The Handicapper, Simon Morgan, did an excellent job.  Of the 28 matches played over four games of up to 11 points, 19 were won by 4 points or less, 12 of these by 3 or less and two of them by just a single point.  The final saw Nigel Foreshew win over Chris Martin by 3 points.

 

The Grade ‘B’ Singles for second division players only, had some very close matches.  In the semi-finals Bob Marshall beat junior player, Jonathon Bacon, by the closest margin of the day -10, 10, 10 and 9 and Stephen Katona beat Margaret Shock by 8, 2, -9, -11 and 9.  In a close final Bob won by -9, 9, 6 and 8.

 

For those knocked out in the first round of the ‘B’ competition there is a consolation singles.  More than half the matches needed extra games and three went to five.  Junior player Ben Davis had a really good run through to the final but he then lost to James Palmer.

 

The Handicap Doubles competition is always a close one as the ‘handicap’ is the draw for partners on a ranking basis.  Thirteen matches were played and only two were won in straight games and five went to a fifth game.  The mixture of experience and youth give all the games a great spirit and they are greatly enjoyed by all those taking part.  James Palmer and Bob Marshall beat Dave White and Willem Taylor in the final.

 

Other finals to be played on Friday will be the Veteran Singles and Doubles, the Super Veterans Singles, the Boys’ Singles and their Doubles.  Unfortunately the Cadet Singles cannot be played as Edward Martin has a broken toe but another player will act as a substitute to give the other finalist, Ben Davis the match he deserves.

 

All the matches and presentations to other winners will be starting at 7 p.m. on 23rd March at Queen Elizabeth’s School, Bromyard and spectators are welcome.  Admission is free.

 

Herefordshire County Championships -Finals

 

Herefordshire County Table Tennis Championships – Report from Cicely Palmer

16 The Crescent, Colwall, WR13 6QN – Telephone 01684 540 595

Email – cis@forwil.co.uk

 

The Herefordshire County Table Tennis Championships Finals Night held on Friday at Queen Elizabeth’s School, Bromyard was an evening full of surprises.

 

Eight reigning champions were defending their titles and five of them were losers.

 

The first title to be defended was the Veterans’ Doubles.  Harry Jutle and Mike Wheatley had won for the last two years and played Chris Martin and Dave Hamer who beat the title holders in three straight games but only by the very narrow margin of  9, 8 and 9.

 

The next surprise was in the Men’s Doubles where Andy Castle and Mark Owen, who had won the event for the last three years, played Ola Andersson and Toby Eckley.  Ola and Toby won the first game quite comfortably to 7 but Mark and Andy took the second by 12.10.  The third game again went against the title holders to 6 but they again came back to take the fourth by 9.  The fifth game had everyone in the hall on the edges of their seats and you could have heard a pin drop as it was not until after 11 all that Ola and Toby won the last two points to win the match.

 

The Super Veteran’s Singles saw Mike Wheatley in action again and this time he defeated the champion, Bob Trimble, in straight games by 5, 10 and 4.

 

Ann Barnes was defending the title she had held for two years and played Carol Milnes, who, although she has played in the County for many years has never managed to win the top title.  This was a really tough match.  Ann won the first game by 13.11 but Carol won the second by 7.  Ann took the third by 12.10 and lost the fourth to 8.  Again the fifth game was not only crucial but close and ended at 11.9  in  Carol’s favour and her name goes on the trophy for the first time.

 

Ann and Carol were both involved in the Mixed Doubles and Ladies’ Doubles finals on the opposite sides of the table.  Ann was partnered by Sue Segust and Carol by Margaret Shock in the Ladies’ event and Ann and Sue, as holders, added a third successive win to their record but only by the narrowest of margins, 11.9, 12.10 and 11.9. 

Ann and Dave White played Carol and Nigel Foreshew in the Mixed event and also made it three in a row by winning 11.9, 11.7 and 11.4.

 

In the Junior Boys Singles Josh Price won the title for the second time by beating Mark Farr by 7, 9 and 10.  Mark and his twin brother, Oliver, played in the Juniors Boys Doubles against another pair of twins – Christopher and Jonathon Bacon.  The Farr brothers won by 7, -4, 8 and 6.  I doubt that there have been any other occasions in the County’s existence that two sets of twins have played in a Junior final – or any other event.

 

One of the competitors in the Cadet Singles had broken his toe since the earlier rounds so a substitute player came along to give Ben Davis a game instead of a walk over.  Huw Richards accounted for himself very well by winning the third game by 9 but the fourth game ended his luck at 12.10.

 

The two restricted events were both straight game wins.  In the first one Ola Andersson beat Lincoln Franklin and in the event that excludes the top 10 players in the County, Harry Jutle won playing Bob Trimble.

 

Mike Wheatley was also in the Veterans’ Singles final against Chris Martin.  Chris won by 12.10, 11.3 and 13.11.

The evening started with the semi-finals of the Men’s Singles.  Mark Owen was defending the title he had first won in 1977 and has won on another 21 occasions.  He dropped his first game against Chris Martin but then won the next three reasonably comfortably.  The other semi-final was between Toby Eckley and Ola Andersson which Ola won.  The last match of the evening was the final of this event and the good crowd of spectators were treated to a high standard of table tennis.  This final is played as the best of seven games.  Ola won the first two by 5 and 9  but Mark then won the next two by 8 and 8 followed by Ola winning his third game by 8.  In the sixth game it looked certain to be going to a seventh and deciding game with Mark 9.2 up but  Ola kept the pressure up and forced errors from Mark and gradually the lead disappeared and from a seemingly hopeless position of  being 4.10 down he won the game, the match and the title for the first time by 12.10.

The team found it tough going this year as the opposition fielded stronger players. Mark is enjoying the challenge of tougher games

finishing the season at 57.1% and looking forward to up his game next season. Dave White has relished the challenge in the higher

division playing up twice in the double fixtures and achieved an impressive 50% average. Helen Green is also being challenged and

enjoying the competition finishing at 42.9%. Chris Martin as captain has run the team well and finishes his average on a creditable

40%. Andy Castle found it tough at this level this season. The team's strength lies in the doubles and excelled again to win the men’s with

a success rate of 85.7% and the mixed at 71.4%.

The team hoped to improve on the runners-up position achieved last 2 seasons, but a change was forced to find a third player, with

the sudden departure of Norman Merchant. In fact they achieved runners-up spot again despite the changes. Surrey were too strong

again and our side was the only one to take the most games from them. Dave White excelled in this division only dropping 2

games for an average of 85.7%. Although Harry Jutle did not achieve the dizzy heights reached last season, he still averaged 50%.

Carol Milnes had 2 wins, although could have been more, but let some slip away from a winning position. Brian Kitchener, although

new to the County was thrown in at the deep end for our 1st double fixture. He performed well but nerves and lack of sharpness got

the better of him. For the rest of the season Paul Coleman stepped in to the team and performed well to achieve an average of 40%.

As the 1st team our strength also lies in the doubles with the mixed at 78.6% and the men’s at 71.4%.

It must be frustrating for our 3rd team to play well but still not a lot to show for it in the results. Often when I receive the scores the

games are very close but always goes against them. Bob Trimble failed to win a single game and yet has had so many go to 5 and

deuce. Brian Kitchener played regularly for this team and had 2 wins to achieve an average of 20%. Again it could have been higher

had it not been at the wrong end of the close encounters. The captain Dave Knowles again has had close games but not been able

to convert them to wins. Margaret Shock has had her best season with a singles win in straight sets over Shirley Carroll to achieve an

average of 20%, and 2 mixed doubles with Brian and Bob. My thanks go to Gordon Stables for stepping in at short notice to play away

against Essex when Michael Morgan realised he had another commitment. He enjoyed the social side of catching up, being from that

County. They had one less fixture to play as Suffolk withdrew their team at the start of the season.
