New Milton Table Tennis Club had a slightly better week in the Bournemouth and District league as their teams registered four wins out of ten matches. One of these wins came at the expense of one of their own teams as the E team got the better of the D team in their Div 2 derby.

Captain fantastic Frank Handy recorded his fifth consecutive hat-trick in a row for the E’s to help his unbeaten side defeat their D team club mates 6-4. Also in Div 2, the C team walloped Merton F 9-1 at Mudeford Wood aided and abetted by first hat-tricks from Dave Cuddon and Svet Ignatov. The E’s are still top of the pile but the C’s are breathing down their necks from third place.

Thirteen year old Matthew Daish (pictured) proved that his hat-trick in the Premier last week was no fluke as his second treble helped his A team to claim maximum points from Bmth Sports C. Daish was joined in his treble by captain Steve Hemmings who clocked up his first hat-trick of the season.

It was all good news from the top teams as the second-placed B team put some daylight between themselves and third-placed Bmth Sports E as they beat them 6-4 in their own back yard. New signing John Millward quickly got over his debut duck last week to come up with an impressive hat-trick against Bourne. Full results details are below:-
