The new season got under way this week, and the club has yet to lose a match! Mind you, only 2 have been played, one resulting in a draw, and the other had a winning margin enhanced by the opponents being 1 player short.
The A team held St Teresa’s D to a draw, with Colin Fyles and Jim Irving winning both their singles and Dave Williams picking up the other point. The doubles was a weakness last season, and remains a weakness.
The B team, with three substitutes, got off to a flying start when Formby HT E turned up with only 3 players. Paul Lunan then raced to a quick win against Paul Oakes, whilst Ron Makin pulled one back for the visitors in a close game against Dai Davies. Alan Nolan and Tom Taylor won their solitary singles games, and Dai Davies completed the home team’s scoring with an easy win against Des Logan. Formby then won the only doubles game against Alan & Tom.
Are you looking forward to any ping pong pressies this Christmas? Will Santa be bringing you a new bat? Or some new kit? What about some coaching videos or maybe even a copy of the rules of table tennis?
