ALBANY FLORISTS-SPONSORED SOUTH DEVON & TORBAY TABLE TENNIS LEAGUE

Kris Piwowar & Patrik Cincala were unbeaten as current Division One leaders, Torbay Academy 1 saw off their closest challengers NA Batmen, 8-2.  The NA Buzzards narrowly defeated Torbay Academy 2, 6-4, thanks to another Jon Cheung maximum.  The result of the week, however was last season’s whipping boys, Halwell’s victory over Brixham Pirates. Rod Sugden, Mick Atkinson & Dave Wadling were on fire as they secured all 10 points in a whitewash victory over the Pirates.

NA Buzzards – Kevin Nicholls, Sonja Ryland, Jon Cheung

The Second Division is going to be very competitive again this season. Two Szymon Furgol maximums in a week have helped Torbay Academy 3 to the top of the table, firstly in a narrow 6-4 victory over NA Eagles and then alongside a Jakub Piwowar maximum, as the Academy side defeated Battlers 7-3. Brixham Seals sit just a point behind the Academy following another unbeaten effort from Stuart Shipley as they defeated clubmates, Trawlers 7-3. NA Falcons, with both David Davies and Giles Tushingham gaining maximums in an 8-2 win over Taverners, ensure just 2 points separate the top 3 teams. A Doug Morgan maximum helped promoted NA Hawks to a 6-4 victory over Torbay Academy 4. In a titanic match at Marldon, Battlers came out winners 8-2 but they had to work for it as 8 of the 10 sets went to a deciding 5^th game, with no sets being won 3 straight. Peter Nicholson took a maximum for the Battlers.

Brixham Trawlers & Seals – Allen Pack, Nick Williamson, Alan Maynard, Bob Parkins, Tom Andrews & Stuart Shipley

Division Three’s early pacesetters are Denbury Tykes, already the only unbeaten team in the Division, who have opened up a 5-point lead over Brixham Dolphins. Two 8-2 victories this week for the Tykes, thanks to Paul Hine and Huw Darch maximums, saw off NA Kestrels and Torbay Academy 5.  The Tykes colleagues from Marldon are also looking good as they defeated Hasbeens 8-2, Chris Garner taking a maximum for the Marldon side.  Brixham Dolphins will keep the pressure on the Tykes teams; their latest victory, a Geoff Beavington led 9-1 victory over Torre Tigers. Martin Charlesworth was unbeaten as he helped Dawlish Diamonds to a narrow 6-4 win over Torbay Academy 5.

Three teams are still unbeaten in the Fourth Division, with NA Owls currently at the top as their victories have been bigger.  The Owls’ latest win, a 9-1 victory at Brixham over the Swifts, saw Rob and Dylan Bayliss with maximums.  Hot on the Owls’ heels are the two Academy sides 6 and 7.  A John Fowler maximum for Torbay Academy 7 in their 8-2 victory over Dawlish Dodgers keeps them a point ahead of their colleagues, Academy 6, as they saw off the challenge from Dawlish Drifters also 8-2, with Matt Frettsome & Neville Cregan unbeaten for the Academy.  NA Kites picked up their first win of the season with a 9-1 victory over club mates, Ospreys, with Lewis Short and Richard Salt on top form for the Kites.  An Andrew Davies maximum for Torres R Us helped see off NA Vultures 8-2.

NA Kites – Kevin Payne, Richard Salt & Lewis Short
