Table Tennis League last Thursday night despite falling to a 7-3

meaning Helland required just two points for the title.
Despite the best efforts of Bob Thompson and Shirley Luckhurst, who
were unbeaten all evening in the singles, Ritchie Bartlett’s victory
over Martin Hynes made it 4-2 and with it ensured Helland took the

Hill’s points came from Dave Aplin and Trevor Luckhurst.
North Hill were back in action on Monday night (February 26) but fell
to defeat at Whitstone Wanderers by the same scoreline.
