POP
N ROCK STAMP THEIR AUTHORITY
Unbeaten Pop n Rock have opened up
a 13 point gap at the top of Division 1 of the Chartwell
Burton Uxbridge Winter Table Tennis League after showing no mercy to the
leagues bottom two sides. Adam Topliss and dad
Mark lost only 2 ends on their way to back to back 5-0 victories over
Terry’s Oranges & Invincibles. Behind them,
the race for 2nd place hotted up, as
previously 3rd placed No One stormed past 2nd placed Sketchmarks 4-1. Ed Watchman was on top of his game
here winning both his singles and was ably helped by Jack Prescott who lost
out only to Mark Pearson. They capped the match with a doubles victory, but
only just, hanging on to take it 13-11 in the 5th. Another team
on the up are Incredibles, who moved to within touching distance of
silverware with a 4-1 success against Little Devils. Charlie Kendrick
pushed his average over the 50% mark with a terrific 5 double included an
excellent 3-1 win over Dale Upton. Gill Shand
weighed in with one although Devil’s Amber Basford
was very unlucky to come away empty handed after going down in 5 twice.
Surprise result in the Premier
Division saw Pom Pom’s
record their first win of the season with a 3-2 success against Bill. Will
Pearson took the individual honours for Bill with 2, but hard fought 5 end
wins for Morgan Sykes & Ellie Rutland-Jones against Bekki
Lycett plus the doubles saw the girls home. The
other 3 matched were all relatively one-sided as the top 3 all won 5-0.
Wanderers remain top, as Gary Carr & Brian Beer were in maximum mood
against Blue Parrots. Alfabet moved into 2nd
place with Liam Burt & Andrew Heathcote
overcoming Dynamo and Dynamic Duo followed them into 3rd taking
all the points against Platinum, even if granddad Pat Byrne did nearly
steal the game from grandson Joe, just going down 11-9 in the 5th.
