Walton D & Pegasus A Draw In 5-5 Thriller!

No comments

Division Two leaders of the Colchester & District Table Tennis League Division Two Walton A and third placed Pegasus A were involved in one of the best matches of the season that ended in a 5-5 draw. The result shows just how far Pegasus have come and had they have had Ian Whiteside playing would probably have won indeed been serious promotion rivals to Walton. No player was unbeaten as Pegasus pulled out a 5-2 lead. However, at 5-4 an unbeaten Steve Noble faced the experienced David Hall who had earlier lost in straight sets to an inspired Toby Turner. Noble led 1-0 and 2-1with nothing between the two players but Hall pulled the strings to win in five and secure the draw. This puts Walton fifteen points clear of Gt Horkesley C who have two games in hand. Fourth placed Lawford B beat Tollesbury A 8-2 with George Berry and Nick Galley both unbeaten, a result that all but relegates Tollesbury. H20 Rowhedge D edged past Walton E thanks once again to Alan Burgess’s tenacity but Terry May made life hard for him leading at one stage by two sets to one before going down in five ends.

 H20 Rowhedge F move to second place in Division Three following a win and a defeat against Pegasus C and B. League President Mick Buckley won the two in a rare appearance for Rowhedge as his team lost 8-2. Paul Woolnough (3 wins) was the only man to beat him in a match of wildly fluctuating fortunes; 11-3, 0-11, 4-11, 11-8, 11-5! Rowhedge bounced back against Pegasus C with a convincing 8-2 reverse, with Colin Powell and Nigel Claydon unbeaten. Gt Horkesley D slipped up at Lawford C 6-4 with Mark Seymour undefeated although he was pushed all the way by Phil Wolski, winning 13-11 in the final set. H20 Rowhedge G did themselves the power of good narrowing the gap from eight to just two points in a relegation battle with the University of Essex as they won 8-2. Thomas Lewis starred winning three with Daryl Lott and Mark Burrows two apiece.

Division Four leaders Pegasus D won comfortably enough, 9-1 to bottom team Gt Horkesley F. Kevin Turner and Alistair Woodcock both won three but their lead was cut by one point as promotion rivals H20 Rowhedge H won 10-0. Jimin and Jane Li were joined by Oli Reynolds unbeaten. Pegasus E are holding on in third place, this week beating Lawford D 8-2 thanks to Paul Weston and Derek Miller. Lawford D are fourth in an interesting match that paired the youngest – CRGS and the oldest – Lawford teams in the league, with experience prevailing.  Lawford’s combined age totalled some 231 years compared to the schools 51! For the record Ivan Jarred and Len Betts were unbeaten. Gt Horkesley C face another season in the division despite winning 8-2 against H20 Rowhedge I and 6-4 versus Lawford E. Denise Thompson made it three straight matches without defeat as her form has flourished since Christmas.

Gt Horkesley A takeover at the top of Division One with an impressive 9-1 win over a strong Walton team on paper. Colin Dearman was the seasider’s sole victor beating Ladies champion Aimee Sparkes. H20 Rowhedge B included Dave Cole in their line-up against their ‘C’ team and he duly won his three. Not surprisingly they won 10-0 against a weakened ‘C’ team that moves them to within four points of their ‘A’ team, in fourth place. Tollgate B beat Walton B 9-1 with Felipe Rodriguez winning his first match of the season against Sue Welham.

H20 Rowhege B Lose Their Unbeaten Record – to Their A Team!

No comments

H20 Rowhedge B finally lost their unbeaten record, the last team to do so in Division One of the Colchester & District Table Tennis League. Fittingly it was their ‘A’ that took the Rowhedge bragging rights as last week’s Chelmsford Men’s Singles runner-up Steve Joslin put in an accomplished performance winning his three games without dropping a set. His team were 3-2 down at one stage but a vital doubles win from recently crowned Chelmsford Men’s Doubles champion Michael Andrews supported by Antony Greenwood in five sets turned the match in the ‘A’ teams favour and they swept home 7-3. David Moss continued his impressive form with a four set win over Greenwood as he won two including a 15-13 last set win over Andrews. Tollgate A remain top despite losing 6-4 to H20 Rowhedge B twent-four hours earlier. Kevin Gowlett lead the way, coming back from two sets down to beat to beat Gary Young (two wins) on his way to a maximum. Gt Horkesley A are third, one point behind Rowhedge A as they beat Tollgate B 6-4 with Richard Goodhand’s tactical nous bringing him another three wins. Colin Bennett (two wins) won an epic match over Colin Stallwood; 11-9, 11-9, 5-11, 7-11, 12-10 as did Martyn Green (also two wins) beat Jimmy Farrow over the full five ends.

Walton D pulled ten points clear of Gt Horkesley C at the top of Division Two following an 8-2 win over their E team and a 10-0 walkover against Tollesbury A. Matt Watson starred against the Walton second string winning three whilst the ‘E’ teams Chris Petrou did well to get the better of John Rankin and Mark Gale, who also won two. Second placed Gt Horkesley C came up against a Paul Tracey one-man show as he won three, inflicting a third defeat of the season for Wudong Liu in five ends but his team still lost 7-3. Tracey could only win two against H20 Rowhedge D however, as Alan Burgess beat him in straight sets in a narrow 6-4 win for Rowhedge. Peter Simmonds unusually came on as a substitute for the unwell Dave Harrison and teamed up with Burgess to win the doubles.  Burgess was again unbeaten, this time in a 5-5 draw with Gt Horkesley B. Pegasus A won thanks mainly to the new Chelmsford Over 60’s champion Ian Whiteside who was joined by Toby Turner, unbeaten in an 8-2 win over H20 Rowhedge E.

In Division Three leaders St Peters had a narrow 6-4 win over Tollesbury B as Roger Warren made it seven straight maximums, following the previous one against Lawford D for whom Richard Spence won two in an 8-2 win for the telecoms team to take them nineteen points clear at the top. Gt Horkesley D and H20 Rowhedge F are joint second although the former have a game in hand. Both won 6-4, with Mike Shorney winning three for Tollesbury A against Horkesley and Rob Bozier unbeaten against Rowhedge. Pegasus B thrashed bottom team Dedham A 9-1 with Paul Woolnough and Mike Sant undefeated. Pegasus C moved to comparative safety with the same result as their ‘B’ team over The University of Essex, Nigel Parmenter and Doug Green both recorded maximums. They also accounted for relegation rivals H20 Rowhedge G 8-2 with John Richie this time winning three.

In the top of the table clash in  Division Four leaders Pegasus D crashed 7-3 at home to H20 Rowhedge H wit Jimin Li excelling, winning his three. Pegasus remained top however, due to a 10-0 walkover against Dedham B.
