The New Milton Table Tennis Club came up with four wins out of eight matches in the Bournemouth and District League, an exact repeat of their performance in the first round of matches.

Div 5 saw the second of the local derbies between the J and K teams with the Jays doing the double over their club mates. They improved on their first-round 6-4 win with the more emphatic 8-2 scoreline which included a hat-trick from Geoff Biggs, his first of the campaign.  J team captain Lynn Willrich (pictured below) bagged a brace as did thirteen year old Elliot Storr-Smith, and they combined well to win the doubles to land maximum points.

In the Premier, the A team did the double over Winton YMCA A and improved on their first-round 9-1 result with a 10-0 whitewash thanks to hat-tricks from captain Steve Hemmings, Brian Vibert and Phil Daish-Handy. The complete reverse happened to the struggling C side in Div 1 as they were drubbed 0-10 by Merton C away at Southbourne.

Also in Div 1 the B team repeated their 8-2 victory over Merton E aided and abetted by hat-tricks from captain Shaun Newcomb and England veteran Brian Bickell. In Div 3, the table-topping G team did likewise to bottom-dwellers Ringwood C thanks to trebles from Simon Golding and Clive Pitts.  Full results details appear below:-
