SOUTH DEVON & TORBAY TABLE TENNIS LEAGUE – SPONSORED BY ALBANY FLORISTS
2023-24 SEASON
There was no scheduled league programme in the first week of the New Year but there were a few rearranged matches played.
In the first division NA Batmen returned to the top of the table with a whitewash victory over clubmates NA Condors. Rory Harries, Dennis & Shaun Gibbs all returning after the Christmas break in fine form.
NA Buzzards kept up their interest towards the top of the table with an 8-2 victory at Halwell A, Herbie Sage and Kevin Nicholls were unbeaten for the Buzzards. Halwell A, struggling at the foot of the table, didn’t fare any better at Newton Abbot where they went down 9-1 to NA Parrots, Dan Webster-Hall with a maximum for the Parrots. An unfortunate injury to Halwell’s Rod Sugden while ahead in his final set didn’t help as Halwell had to concede that set and the final doubles.

Torbay Academy 5, with seven wins out of seven, head the fourth division table following a narrow 6-4 victory at Torre over the Gladiators. Torbay Academy 6 were also narrow winners as they defeated Brixham Seals 6-4 thanks to a Graham Maynard maximum.
