Winchester Table Tennis League (Hants,UK): Tables and Results

News:

Kings TT Club will restart on Monday 6th September after the summer break.

The late Mick Prince: I'm very sorry to tell you of the recent death of Mick Prince. Mick played in the League over many years and in all Divisions, helping to start the current Winnall club, as well as introducing sons Andy and Chris to the game. Many of you will remember him as a regular spectator at Finals Night, supporting Andy and Chris whenever they played. Our deep sympathy goes to his family.

League news: The new season's Fixtures are here
19 teams have entered the League for the forthcoming season. Relative to last season, IBM has a new team, Hursley C has moved to Kings, while Hursley A, Hursley E, Bishops Waltham and Five Tees B have disbanded. Sorry to say goodbye - we hope you'll be back! The League will revert to its previous format, with 2 Divisions (9 and 10 teams respectively), running from 27th September to the end of March. It was impractical to fit 19 teams into smaller divisions without more gaps and blank weeks. The range of playing standards currently is probably narrower now than it has been, so we hope 2 Divisions will still produce many close matches.

The Heats for the end-of-season Closed Tournament will take place at IBM Hursley on Sunday 27th February 2011. Finals Night date is not yet fixed.

A Tournament Organisers Course is coming to Winchester on Sunday 26th September 2010 - see here . For any club currently undertaking PremierClub or looking to become a PremierClub this is the perfect opportunity to undertake this course, as it is unlikely to be held in Hampshire again any time soon!

League players wanted! Hursley TT Club needs players of about Division 2 standard! Please contact Ray Swan on 02380 267753 or 07767 343104 if you're interested. Hursley are moving to St Faith's Hall in St Cross, Winchester, for the 2010-11 season. Handy for the M3, it's a comfortably-heated hall with easy parking!

Hampshire Youth Games: Winchester youngsters shine!
See here for a report.

Young TT players demonstrate skills in Andover, 4th June : You may have missed this event, so here's a brief report! Four highly-skilled and friendly young players showed us what they could do, far from the formality of tournaments and the serious hard work of training sessions, having fun and playing spectacular rallies with great agility, power and good humour. It was brilliant entertainment. As for the 2 singles and the mixed doubles match, all went to 5 games, so all 4 players had plenty of opportunity to show their abilities.

Tressa Armitage had great weekends at the recent Junior (under 18) and Cadets (under 15) Masters events , the 'sternest test there is in the English domestic calendar' according to this article . Tressa followed up her fifth place in the Junior (U18) Masters with second place in the Cadets Masters. She has beeen selected to represent England at Euro 6 Nations in France, and at the Polish Open (juniors and cadets) in Gdansk. She has also been selected to represent England Schools at U16 at the Schools International in Limerick at the end of June. You can read more about Tressa's progress here

Chrissie Slot also played in the Masters Cadets event, but unfortunately had to withdraw due to injury.

The League's AGM was held on Thursday 13th May at Castle Sports Club. An important point that came out is that individual registration with the ETTA comes into force for the 2010-11 season. Unregistered players will not be covered by the ETTA's insurance. Once you're registered with one League you don't need to register for other Leagues. The League's team and player registration forms (due out in July) will include ETTA individual registration, or you can download a printable form here . Online registration is available, too - click here . There will be no change to costs for Winchester League players - if you register via another League, your costs will actually be about �5 lower for adults (less for juniors).

Dennis Thomson has recently retired as President of South Wonston TT Club. Dennis was involved with club from its beginning and worked tirelessly for many years doing much of the hard work, and apparently enjoying it all as well! He is seen here receiving an award from David Binns on behalf of the club, recognising his great contribution to the Club and to the community of South Wonston as a whole.
