Another excellent turnout of over 50 competitors playing in 14 different events, providing a full days entertainment of top quality, competitive table tennis.

The South Devon & Torbay Table Tennis League sponsor, Albany Florists's Sonja Ryland, was there to present the awards to the winners as well as collect a few herself!

The Burton Cup (Open singles) was won for the fourth year running by Kris Piwowar.  Group winners being Kris Piwowar, Patrik Cincala, Dennis Gibbs, Naomi Jackson, Jon Cheung, Dan Barnett & Adam Shipway. To reach the final Kris defeated Ben Hoare, Jon Cheung, and Dennis Gibbs.  His opponent in the final was Naomi Jackson who had beaten Mick Mercer, Sonja Ryland and, the number two seed, Patrik Cincala. While Naomi had played exceptionally well to see off Patrik in the semi-final, Kris prevented Naomi getting her smooth attacking game going and comfortably won 11-1, 11-6, 11-7.
