The New Milton Table Tennis Club managed a 50% return in the Bournemouth and District League last week as their teams won five out of the ten matches played. Going into the week, the club’s G team were second from bottom of Div 3 and the F team three points above them at third from bottom. This week, the F team lost 2-8 to Ringwood B, but the G’s beat bottom-placed Bmth Sports H 6-4 courtesy of another hat-trick from Simon Golding (pictured below). This means that the G’s move out of the drop zone at the expense of their clubmates purely on games-difference. Watch this space!

Team performance of the week came in Div 2 as the D team whitewashed Ringwood A 10-0 in their own backyard, thanks to hat-tricks from Chris Pusey, Bob Fagan and captain Terry Jenvey (pictured below). The K team are on a bit of a roll in Div 5 as they won their third match in a row aided and abetted by hat-tricks from Lynn Willrich and Alex Whitehead. The club’s other treble-makers were the A team’s Phil Handy in the Premier and Richard Brockbank whose full-house gained a precious point for his struggling L team in Div 5.
