In the first round of the Bournemouth & District’s annual Times & Directory Handicap Cup competition, the New Milton D team (Helen Hosie, James Harper and Eddie Tompkins) were drawn against fellow Div 3 side Sharkstone A from Parkstone.

Sharkstone are sitting pretty at the top of Div 3 in the league competition, whereas Milton are 18 points below them in fourth place.  Milton lost 2-8 at Parkstone in their recent league encounter so were hoping for some favourable handicapping in the Times & Directory.

First up, Captain Helen Hosie received a +4 start against Tony Sanderson, and won the first end 21-17.  That proved to be a false dawn however as Hosie lost the next two ends 19-21 and 16-21.  Next up, 20-year-old James Harper benefited from a +3 start against Andy Fox but lost the first end 17-21.  However, Harper upped his game to win the next two ends to level things off at 1-1.

Eddie Tompkins received a +4 start against Chris Leggat and narrowly lost the first end 20-21.  Tompkins still trying to shrug off the effects of a broken collar bone, lost his way a bit in the second end which he lost 13-21.  Harper benefited from a +6 start against Sanderson which he used to very good effect to win 21-19, 21-10 to restore parity at 2-2.

Captain Hosie had to give a +3 start to Leggat and never really got into her stride, going down 9-21 and 12-21 which gave the advantage back to Sharkstone.  Then up steps wily campaigner Tompkins to receive a +6 start against Fox, whom he saw off in two straight ends 21-14, 21-18, which made it 3-3.

Young Harper was really up for his hat-trick, and got off to a roaring start by beating Leggat 21-14 having given him a +1 start.  Harper narrowly lost the second end 19-21 but took the final end very comfortably to give New Milton the advantage at 4-3.  One more win would give Milton the match.

Tompkins received a +9 start against Sanderson and won the first end 21-14, only to lose the second 18-21.  By then Tompkins had the Sharkstonian worked out and dismissed Sanderson 21-4 to take Milton into the second round of the Cup.

There was nothing on the final match but Captain Hosie had a point to prove, having had a “slightly dodgy night” by her own admission.  Starting off “scratch”, Hosie blew Andy Fox away 21-10, 21-13 for New Milton to win overall by 6-3.

Six other Milton teams played in Round 1, and four of them (B, C, E & H teams) won through to join the D team in Round 2, which is to be played week commencing 23^rd January 2023.

Third Time Lucky For Sylvia!

New Milton Table Tennis Club’s annual closed tournaments culminated in their Grand Finals Night at the Mudeford Wood Community Centre on Monday 30^th May.

First up were the Handicap Singles semi-finals which had had to be carried over. Simon Daish took on fellow Div. 3 player John Parkhouse, but had to give Parkhouse a +8 start because of a higher league winning average.  Daish did very well to win in two straight sets 21-19, 21-17.

The other Handicap Singles semi-final was between Div. 3’s James Cheesman and Div. 4’s Sylvia Smith who had a +3 start.  In another two-setter, Smith’s forehand and backhand attack came to the fore and she won 21-16, 21-18.

In the Handicap Singles final, Sylvia Smith received a +8 start from Simon Daish, and Smith scraped the first set 21-20.  Daish then recovered his composure to take the next two sets 21-15, 21-18 to claim the title.  It seemed a case of “always the bridesmaid” for Sylvia, who had come runner-up in the Ladies Handicap Singles to fellow teammate Helen Hosie.

The Vets Over 40’s Handicap final saw Nick Dayman comfortably beat Sid Daynes in two straight sets 21-9, 21-13.

James Cheesman was in action again, this time against Div. 4’s James Harper in the Under 40’s Handicap final.  Although Harper had a +4 start, Cheesman recovered his confidence to win in two straight sets 21-19, 21-17.

The Handicap Doubles saw the omni-present Sylvia Smith partner Andy Ingram against Malcolm Floyd & James Harper. Smith & Ingram benefited from a small +2 start in this all-Div. 4 affair, and they scraped the first set 21-20.  Floyd & Harper eventually got their act together and took the second set comfortably 21-16 to set up an intriguing finale.  Smith & Ingram galloped into a commanding lead, but Floyd & Harper kept chipping away and looked to be in the ascendant.  That was until Floyd fault-served and the match slipped away from them, with their jubilant opponents winning 21-18.  Sylvia got her hands on a winning trophy at the third attempt!

The showpiece event of the club’s annual tournament finals is the Open Singles final.  Matthew Daish (Simon’s younger brother) played club newcomer Ian Hamilton. Hamilton has really impressed at recent club practice nights, but it was a big ask for him, as Daish – who has a world ranking – recently won the Swansea Open Title without losing a set. However, it was really nip and tuck in the first set but Daish just shaded it 13-11.  In some breath-taking rallies, Daish’s powerful forehand loop shots dominated proceedings to win the next two sets 11-5, 11-5 to take the title.

Thanks to Club Secretary & Tournament Organiser Bev Scott-Johns for yet another set of very well organised tournaments.  Bev is a Table Tennis England qualified Tournament Organiser and County Umpire; both skills being very much in evidence during the tournaments.

Five players from the New Milton Table Tennis Club made it through to the Finals night of the Bournemouth & District Table Tennis Association annual tournaments. Two of them emerged as champions, one of them by default, the other at the expense of a fellow clubmate.

New Milton’s 17 year old Brett Bentley was awarded the Junior title by default as Bournemouth Sports player Daniel Chen had tested positive for COVID so couldn’t play.

Sylvia Smith faced Rob Hill from the Bournemouth Sports club in the Division 4 final, having already lost to him twice in the league.  From the off, Smith had problems with Hill’s tricky serve, so she was largely playing catch-up throughout their match, narrowly losing the first end 9-11.  Smith was able to compensate with some very effective back hand shots in open play and scraped the second end by 13-11, to level things off.   The next two ends proved very tight, but Smith lost them 10-12 and 9-11.

In the Division 3 Final, Milton’s Andrew Daish faced Broadstone’s Phil Mayall and narrowly lost the first end 11-13.  Left-hander Daish powered back to take the second 11-9, but then sadly faded to lose the next two ends 7-11, 4-11.

In the Over 70s final, Milton’s Mike Gent took on Richard Crockley from the Bournemouth Sports club.  Gent narrowly lost the first two ends 9-11, 10-12 but did very well to claw back the third 11-8.  That proved to be a false hope however as Crockley comfortably took the fourth 11-4 to land the title.

Sylvia Smith had a second crack at a title as she took on fellow Miltonian Andy Ingram in the Bournemouth Handicap final, having already beaten him twice in the league in Div 4.  Playing off scratch as they had identical winning averages in Divison 4, Smith scraped the first end 21-20, but left-hander Ingram took the second comfortably 21-9 to level things off.  It was nip and tuck throughout the decider as to be expected, but Ingram just shaded it 21-18 to land the Handicap title.

The trophies will be presented to the winners and runners up at the Bournemouth & District Table Tennis Association’s annual presentation evening due to be held on 28^th May.

It was very very tight at the top of Division 4 going into the final week of the Bournemouth & District Table Tennis League.  Merton G and New Milton E were both on 39 points, but Merton were on top, courtesy of a games difference of just two.  At third place on 37 points, New Milton D were just 2 points behind their clubmates, so it was all to play for.  This made for an intriguing and competitive local derby between the D & E teams down at the Mudeford Wood Community Centre.

In the final week, Merton were gifted 4 points as basement boys Ringwood C had to concede their match as they were unable to put out a side.  This put Merton unassailably on top with 43 points, leaving the New Milton teams to scrap for second place and promotion to Div 3.  It was honours-even going into this match as the E team scraped their first encounter of the season 5-4, but the Dees got their revenge with a 6-3 win second time around.

On the night, the D team comprised Helen Hosie, Malcolm Floyd & Sylvia Smith versus the E’s James Harper, Geri Robinson and Andy Ingram.  The other members of the D squad, Les Smith (Captain) and Eddie Tompkins were there to spur on their teammates. The first four matches proved very tight, going all the way to five ends but the Dees came out on top in all of them. 

First up was Ms Hosie against teenager Harper; Hosie took took the first two sets convincingly, but Harper came back to scrape the second two ends 13-11 and 14-12 respectively to make it 2-2.  Hosie then upped her game to take the decider 11-7 to give first blood to the Dees.

Next up was Floyd against Robinson, and Floyd lost the first 2 ends to look like the E’s were going to make it one apiece.  However, Floyd then dug in with his dogged defence to take the next two ends and nick it 13-11 at the death.  In another very close match which went all the way to five ends, Ms Smith beat left-hander Ingram 11-5 in the final end.

In what proved to be the final five-ender of the evening, Floyd overcame Harper in a very topsy-turvy match.  Harper just edged the first end 13-11, but Floyd got stuck in again to see off Harper 11-1 in the second.  Floyd won the third 11-7 but Harper took the fourth 11-4 to set up a thrilling decider.  It was nip and tuck throughout but Floyd just scraped it 11-9 to put the Dees 4-0 up.

Hosie wasn’t mucking about with her match against Ingram, and won the match in three straight ends.  At 5-0 up, this brought the win for the Dees, but they needed to win it  by at least 6-3 to leapfrog over their clubmates to second place.  Smith won her first end against Robinson 11-8, but lost her way in the second to lose it 11-1 with Robinson really on song.  However, Smith took the third end 11-7 and just scraped the fourth 14-12 to clinch the victory.  The D team are promoted!

It was now a question of damage limitation for the E’s, but Floyd beat Ingram in three straight ends to go 7-0 up.  Smith demolished Harper 11-2 in their first end, but the youngster got his game back together to take the next three to give his team a small consolation.  In the final match of the evening, Hosie played imperiously as if it was a decider and saw off Robinson in three straight ends.  8-1 to the Dees and Div 3 beckons!

17 members and guests of the New Milton Table Tennis club attended their annual Christmas Party at the Carpenters Arms on Friday 14th December. Club Secretary Bev Scott-Johns gave a report of the activities of the club which appears in full below:-

First of all I would like to welcome you and say thank you to everyone for coming to our Christmas Party tonight. I would also like to thank Lynn for organising this event on our behalf. The previous Christmas Party was held exactly a year ago on the 15^th December. The last twelve months have been a mixture of sadness and some success for our club.

We were saddened to learn of the death of Mrs Sue Daish in August. All seven of Sue’s children had been playing members of the New Milton Table Tennis Club from about 1995 until the present day. Sue regularly transported the children to our various club night activities from their house in Lymington to our club venues at Mudeford Wood, the Grange School and Sway Village Hall. Several current and former club members were among those who attended the funeral at St. Thomas’s Church, Lymington on the 31^st August. We were also sorry to learn of the death of Malcolm Elliott in January. Malcolm played league table tennis for New Milton TTC for 55 years up to the end of the 2010/2011 season when he retired from the sport. The first time that Malcolm played for New Milton was during the 1955/56 Season.

Turning to the activities of the New Milton Table Tennis Club. Mudeford Wood Community Centre has been our primary table tennis venue since 2004. We are in our fifth season at the Grange School, Christchurch. Attendances continue to hold up well at the Sunday night club sessions. We frequently have guest visitors from other local clubs who come from as far away as Broadstone.

I am pleased to report that at the conclusion of the 2017/2018 season two teams, New Milton G and L both won promotion to the 2^nd and 4^th Divisions having secured the “Runners-Up” spot in Divisions 3 and 5 respectively; In the Times & Directory Handicap competition New Milton J won the Final of the T & D Cup event and New Milton M were “Runners-Up” in the Final of the T & D Plate. In the BDTTA Individual Tournaments held during March New Milton players won six titles and were the runners-up in a further singles event. Brian Bickell won all four veteran’s titles for which he received a standing ovation at the BDTTA Presentation Evening in May. Sadly Brian is unable to be with us tonight as he is playing in a Veteran’s Tournament this weekend.

New Milton TTC was only able to enter 10 teams in the Bournemouth League this season because of a continuing problem with injuries although we have 51 registered players. At this point in the season the highest placed team is New Milton H who are in 3^rd place in Division 4.

At the start of the current season The Bournemouth & District Table Tennis Association reduced the number of divisions from six to five. Three of the divisions (1, 2 & 4) contain 11 teams each, the Premier contains 10 teams and Division 3 contains 12 teams.

Club Chairman, Steve Hemmings had to stand down from the Committee in January because of health issues. Steve oversaw the migration of the New Milton Table Tennis Club from Sway Village Hall and Arnewood School to the Grange in 2014 achieved with minimal disruption to our club night activities. Steve successfully negotiated the terms of the new lease. I am pleased to report that Steve has recovered and has returned to playing table tennis in the Premier Division.

Club Treasurer Malcolm Floyd stood down from the committee at the 2018 Annual General Meeting after over 12 years’ service in that role. Malcolm afforded me considerable support by recording the minutes of our regular committee meetings. We will miss his weekly report of our club’s activities in the New Milton Advertiser and his postings on the New Milton TTC web site. A few years ago Malcolm was jointly awarded the “Press Officer of the Year” Award by the ETTA. In the spring of 2017 Malcolm undertook a considerable amount of work to enable the club to achieve its present ClubMark rating.

I was honoured and proud to be nominated by Malcolm to receive the prestigious Torch Trophy Trust Award for Outstanding Service to Sport, presented by HRH the Duke of Gloucester. The Awards Ceremony was held on the 7^th March and took place at the Army and Navy Club, Pall Mall, London SW1. I was accompanied to the ceremony by Malcolm, Shaun and Simon Golding, who kindly arranged the transport.

My citation was read out by Sir Trevor Brooking, CBE, former England and West Ham player and the award presented by the HRH Duke of Gloucester. There were 21 recipients who were successfully nominated for this award in both able bodied and disability sports. Each recipient received a handbook, a certificate signed by Sir Bobby Charlton, CBE and Paul Dimond, CBE together with an engraved glass trophy contained in a blue presentation box. It was a wonderful and memorable day.                                                               

We have entered two teams in the Dorset Pairs League. This event is played at the Grange School venue on Wednesday evenings.

It only remains for me to wish everybody a happy and peaceful Christmas and extend my best wishes for the New Year.

Bev Scott-Johns

I am very sorry to have tell you that Malcolm Elliott, a former club member, passed away peacefully, but suddenly at home on Tuesday, 30^th January 2018.

Initial research showed that Malcolm had been a member of the New Milton Table Tennis Club since 1974 until the conclusion of the 2010/2011 Season when he retired from table tennis. Bob Fagan then discovered some old league handbooks in his loft and he confirmed that in fact the first time that Malcolm played league table tennis was in the 1955/1956 season. This meant he had played in the Bournemouth league for over 55 years. Malcolm was always a highly competitive, sporting and pleasant opponent who always gave of his best.

I understand that in 1990 Malcolm was a member of the Division 1 side which won promotion to the Premier Division, and also included Terry Jenvey, Brian Vibert & Mike Toole, although Malcolm remained in the lower division. More recently for several years Malcolm played in Division 3 for a team which included Bill Page, Sylvia Smith, Clive Pitts and myself.

Malcolm Elliott’s funeral service will take place at the Bournemouth Crematorium on Monday, 26^th February at 3.45 pm. If desired donations may be made to the Oakhaven Hospice Trust and sent c/o Colin Hayley & Tapper Funeral Service, 51-53 Old Milton Road, New Milton BH252 6DJ (online at www.tapperfuneralservice.co.uk).

The New Milton Table Tennis Club will be making a donation, in memory of Malcolm, to the Oakhaven Hospice Trust
