League tables as of 22nd March 2010
Div 1 Results as of 22nd March 2010
The annual Closed Championships of the Southport & District Table Tennis League will be held on Sunday 7th February at Formby High School. Details of location and how to enter are on the entry form.
You can download an Entry Form in either Adobe PDF (closed10.pdf) or Microsoft Word (closed10.doc) format. If you are interested in entering, please print a copy of the entry form, complete it and send it together with your entry fee(s) to Roger Neal as indicated on the form. Please put your initials in the box for each event you wish to enter, as in the example attached (closed10 example.jpg).
If you want to enter the doubles and have a partner, please indicate their name; if you want to enter the doubles, but don’t have a partner, put a question mark (“?”) in the box.
I would encourage you all to have a go. The odds are that you won’t win a trophy (though two of our club did reach the finals night last year), but you’ll get to play different people than usual, and you’ll get to see some good players in action.
By the way, if anyone has a suitable raffle prize they wish to donate, please let me know.

Congratulations to the ‘D’ team juniors on gaining promotion as Division 3 winners! They achieved this feat in only their 2nd season of competitive play, and dropped a mere 18 points out of 180. Their total of 162 points was the highest for any winning team, in any division, in the last 4 years, and their margin over the 2nd placed team was also the biggest.

The achievement was all the more remarkable when you consider that the very same squad ended the previous season in 7th position. This improvement was no accident: the whole team has put in a lot of time and effort, has turned up regularly for practice sessions at Formby Table Tennis Centre and has competed at weekends for Merseyside Schools.
I think we also need to recognise the vital contributions made by people other than the boys, and we would like to thank the parents for their encouragement and support throughout the season; Dave Graham of Formby TTC for his coaching; captain and coach Paul Lunan for so much more than the points he gained for the team; members of the League management committee for organising the league and cup competitions; other members of Southport TTC for helping out in the practice sessions; and even opponents for providing the competition and for their helpful words of encouragement.
