fixture in Reading, Berkshire against Devon 2nd in the morning and
Somerset 4th in the afternoon. The team were 1-4 down to
to all Captains,
Following the incident at Kingfisher today I have spoken to Les Smith regarding the unfinished fixtures and he would expect them to be restarted from scratch where the teams for the rearrangement would be different but the matches could be played to a finish if the players are the same.
He is also happy for any of these matches to be played during my absence or they can wait untill we can agree another joint venue.
Costings, I have requested that Berkshire do not charge for any hall hire today but I do need to go to committee to confirm, so any costings for today will not be sorted untill my return.

Allan
Just received news the
Latest information received.
Hello
everyone,
This
is to formally notify you of what most suspected, Phil Reeves passed away after
the incident at Kingfisher TTC on Saturday. I have delayed sending this because
the medical staff at Reading hospital and the Police were not prepared to give
us detailed information until they had contacted all of the next of kin,
although they were making it as clear to us as they could that this was the
outcome. This was still the case when we finally left the hospital at 6 on
Saturday, and I eventually received the confirmation yesterday afternoon.
Some
people have phoned me and requested that I pass on condolences to the family,
which I will do on behalf of all the people involved on Saturday. Can I also
thank all of the people who helped in the emergency and worked so hard to try
to save Phil's life.
Steve
- regarding our match with you and the content of Alan's e-mail. I will
telephone you shortly to discuss the implications and agree the best way
forward. We hope your team, and in particular Nigel who was playing Phil at the
time, are ok. Pass on our regards to them all.
Best
wishes

Rice (
Match
played to conclusion on 12/03/2011:
Marg and I had a terrific game against Kevyn Rice and Pat
Lyon.
We lost the first narrowly 11-9, after being just behind throughout. In
the second we took a mid game lead of 7-2 only to lose out 15-13 after some
great tactical play by the opposition. In the third we were down and
often trailing by a couple of points but getting back to deuce and pulling off
a good game winning 16-14. Marg had played very consistently throughout
and in the fourth Steve hit a purple patch where he added to Marg's consistency
with some good winners to take the game 11-5. This set up a final game
which until 8-8 was nip and tuck. Unfortunatley a combination of good
play and one unforced error on our side saw us lose 11-8.
The final match score being a draw 5-5.
Other results for the record as follows
Kevyn Rice v Nigel Forshew 4, -5, -5, 0,

Junior team's 2nd session in the National Junior
League
On Saturday 22nd January 2010 we were at
Wood Green again, for a further 5 matches, against, generally stronger
opposition than session 1.
Jake, Jack, Joe and Zoe all gave improved
performances, and with a bit more luck and/or experience our match results
would have been far better.
As follows:
V Colebridge A (0-6): Jack lost 3-1 v No 3; Jake lost 3-1 v No 1
V
Burton’s manager questioned Joe playing at No 3, but
he certainly proved why against Wood Green D!
V Wood Green A (2-4): Jack (3-2 & 0-3); Jake (3-2 & 2-3); Zoe (1-3
& 0-3)
Jack & Jake both beat the No 1. Zoe lost 6, 9
& 9 against a good junior girl who has thrashed her in the past.
V Stroud B (3-3): Jake
(3-1 & 3-0); Joe (1-3 & 3-2); Zoe (2-3 & 2-3)
We certainly deserved a win here
V Wood Green D (4-2): Jack (3-0 & 3-0); Joe (1-3 & w/o); Zoe (1-3
& w/o)
We are there again next Saturday competing in groups
based on results in the first 2 sessions. Hopefully we have done enough to be
in the middle group where we will be both competitive and challenged.
Regards, Andy
Junior team's 3rd session in the
National Junior League
On Saturday 29/01/2011 we were at Wood Green again,
where we found ourselves in Div 3. However, we proved to be clearly the
strongest side, winning all matches, with Jack being unbeaten on the day. As
follows:
V Stroud C (6-0): w/o
V Litchfield Jets A (4-2): Jack (3-0 & 3-0); Jake ( 3-0 & 3-0); Zoe
(2-3 & 2-3)
V Wood Green D (5-1): Jack (3-0 &
3-0); Jake (3-0 & 3-0); Zoe (2-3 & 3-2)
V Malvern (4-2): Jack (3-0 & 3-0); Jake (3-2 & 1-3); Joe (3-0
& 0-3)
V Uxbridge B (4-2): Jack (3-0 & 3-0);
Jake (3-0-3 & 1-3); Joe (3-0 & 0-3)
The final session is at the end of March where we hope
for a repeat performance.

Thursday May 5th and 12th at
Bromyard School 7.30pm
So
far nobody has let me know that they are interested in playing in this
competition.
Those
who have played before have always enjoyed the fun of an end of season social
yet competitive couple of evenings. Everyone
has always gone away looking forward to the next time.
The
rules are very different to our usual play.
1. Everyone
is given a handicap by a handicap committee based on the end of season averages
in each division.
2 From those who have entered, teams are
drawn taking players from the top and the bottom of the averages alternatively
so each team is composed of players who do not play together and have probably
not played against each other. This
makes for some very even and enjoyable competition.
3 There are four players in each team and
the top two players play the other two top players and likewise with the bottom
two. Each player therefore plays two
singles sets. There is also a doubles
set consisting of one player from the top two and bottom two players. If at the end of these 9 sets the scores are
tied then the remaining four players play another doubles set. Last year in two of our matches this was
necessary – showing just how close the competition was.
4 Scoring is up to 21 – with the old
scoring system and the best of three games.
This makes handicapping a little bit easier. However you score one point for each 5
points you win in a game. In a set of A
v B if the score ends up as 21.6, 9.21, 21.23 – A scores 9 points and B scores
9 points. You can see from this that
every point counts.
5 To make it even more interesting the
handicapping is in every game so if player A is on 5 and player B on 10 the
scoring starts at 5 – 10. Some players
may even have a minus handicap meaning that they have to score that number of
points before getting to ‘0’ and then trying to get to 21!
Last
year we had just 16 players but the four teams played the first week and then
the second week the winners played each other and the losers likewise.
I
shall have clip boards at all three Championships events for you to sign up but
I would love to hear from anyone wanting to play before then by telephone or
email.
If
we do not get enough players we will cancel the event for this year. The fee payable will depend on how many
players enter – to cover the costs.

At the end of the evening Andersson and Eckley played the final over the best of seven games and despite dropping their first two games, Andersson won a very hard hitting set by -8, -7, 7, 9, 8 and 9 so he retains the title for the third time in succession.
Having become the youngest Ladies Champion in the history of Herefordshire Table Tennis at the age of 14 last week, Zoe Castle, was in action again this week in the Junior Doubles with her brother, Jack, against Jake Conod and Joe Burnett.

The
There was a very good team spirit during the day and whilst the opposition proved too strong on the day there were some good individual performances.
In the singles Nigel won one and lost one. In his first game he was pushed but somehow
in control throughout. His second game
was a very tight game. His performance
was consistent and with dogged determination he came from 2-1 down to take the
4th. The fifth game was nip
and tuck throughout until a very relieved
Brian lost his first match in four after taking the first game however, his opponent got stronger as the game went on. In his second game Brian pulled out all the stops including some defending from the full length of the hall away from the table. He kept high pressure on his opponent and although he dropped a game ran out a worthy winner in four. For Brian the return to County play was as if he had never left the arena both socially and in his play. With a performance like this a useful reminder that places in the team are there to be challenged for.
Lin stepped up to the mark for her singles and doubles. She lost her singles in straight games to Wendy Pryce but did have a chance to turn things around in the second but lost to deuce. This gave Wendy sufficient momentum to press on and take the third game to clinch the set.
In the doubles Lin played the first one with Nigel against
Jerry and Wendy. Lin’s return of service
and, use of angles were very instrumental in keeping the
Steve’s performance unfortunately just a little off the pace in the singles but happy to finish with a good doubles partnership.
Full scores for the day.
