The New Milton Table Tennis Club could only come up with one win out of their seven matches in the Bournemouth and District League last week, the other results being five defeats and a draw. The gloom was slightly lifted as new signing Matthew Winter scored a hat-trick in his league debut for the H team in Div 4. He was joined in his treble by Peter Daish and Frank Handy as they helped their G team to a 9-1 away victory over Nimrod A in Div 3. The full results are below:-
