Table Tennis: Ormesby aim for nation title hat-trick


Ormesby are in contention for the Senior British League Premier Division title when they host the final round of matches at the club’s headquarters on Cargo Fleet Lane next weekend.


They are locked in a battle for the title with the current holders, Sycamore from Nottingham, and the teams will meet on the Sunday morning.


Ormesby have already captured two national titles with the Women’s Premier and Junior Premier division crownss this season.


If they win the Senior title, it will complete a unique treble.


The British League weekend will consist of four rounds of matches – two on the Saturday and two on the Sunday – and most of Britain’s top 50 players will be in action.


The clubs who will be participating are: Barrow Tornadoes, Bournemouth Sports, Drumchapel Glasgow, Fusion of South London, Kingfisher of Reading, London Academy, Ormesby and Sycamore.


Leading the Ormesby team will be Darius Knight while Sycamore’s top player is England international Chris Doran.


Stockton Table Tennis League’s popular Eric Guthrie Handicap Singles was keenly contested.


The final was a close affair between Amy Webster and Jack Cope.


With a 28-point start, Webster played confidently to win by two points.


In the semi-finals Webster comfortably saw off Ryan Chan, while Cope had a hard fought four-point victory over Nick Corking.


Webster also retained her Junior Girls’ Singles title with a close victory over Charlotte McCarty.


And Cope found success in the Junior Boys’ Singles, coming from two games down to win the decider against younger brother Joe 11-8 in a tough match.
