The New Milton C team has been struggling a bit in the Bournemouth & District Table Tennis league this season, but Zoltan Ordog’s first ever hat-trick helped his team to repeat their first-round 8-2 victory over Div 1 fall-guys Merton D. Julie Smillie also came up with her first hat-trick of the season and combined clinically with Ordog (pictured below) to win the doubles to claim the maximum points.

In a week which saw the New Milton Club’s teams win four out of their ten matches, the high-flying E team (Frank Handy, Simon Golding & Peter Daish) did the double over Bmth Sports E in Div 2 with a 6-4 win away at Chapel Gate. The G team (Bev Scott-Johns, Simon Daish & Simon Golding) tightened their grip at the top of Div 3 by doing the double over Nimrod A, aided and abetted by hat-tricks from Golding and Daish.

Div 4 saw the H team (Malcolm Douglas, George Roberts & Les Smith) overcome a first-round 4-6 defeat at the hands of lowly Nimrod C to wallop them 8-2 at their place, courtesy of hat-tricks from George Roberts and Malcolm Douglas, his first of the campaign.

The club’s other treble-makers were England Veteran Brian Bickell, who helped his B team to a draw against Broadstone A in Div 1, and teenage starlet Kai Major, whose full house for his D team included a fantastic win against the Merton legend that is Phil Beeden.  Full results details are below:-
