There was a break in the Bournemouth and District Table Tennis league programme last week as the week was given over to the Preliminary Round of the Annual Times & Directory Handicap Cup competition. Three of the New Milton Club’s teams were drawn into the Preliminary Round and they all made it through to Round One.

The Cup provides an interesting diversion from the league programme in that it enables teams from across all divisions to be drawn against each other in a handicapped competition, best of three matches up to 31, with no doubles.

The B and C teams (both from Div1) had a relatively easy passage as they both won their matches by 5-1, beating Bransgore (Div 1) and Merton H (Div 4) respectively. However, the G team’s match against Div 1’s Lynwood B went right down to the wire and the Div 3 outfit just scraped it by 5-4. It all came down to 14 year old Peter Daish’s (playing off +19) match against Lynwood’s Colin Milton (+11) and it was 28-all in the third and final set of the evening. Daish maturely put the two division differential behind him to win the next three points to take his side through to the next round.

Result details:

New Milton B (Div 1) 5 Bransgore (Div 1) 1

Julie Smillie (+13), 2

Malcolm Floyd (+14), 1

Shaun Newcomb (+13), 2

New Milton C (Div 1) 5 Merton H (Div 4) 1

Martin Jerome (+6), 1

James Lewis (+11), 2

Max De Kment (+12), 2

Lynwood B (Div 1) 4 New Milton G (Div 3) 5

Peter Daish (+19), 3

Bobo Jiang (+20), 2

Andrew Daish (+21), 0

The B, C and G teams now join the the A, D, E, F, J and K teams in the draw for Round One which is to be played in Week Commencing 3^rd December. The Premier’s A team will be itching to have another bash at the title, having come runners-up in the last two years.

The New Milton Table Tennis Club could only muster two wins in the Bournemouth & District League last week, and one of those was at the expense of one of their own teams in a local derby.

Hat-tricks from 19 year old Max Doohan and Simon Golding helped their E team to a 7-3 victory over their F team. The club’s only other victory came in Div 5 as the J team demolished mid-tablers Shamrock B 10-0 thanks to hat-tricks from Malcolm Douglas (captain), Sam Watkins and Richard Ursell.

Full results are below:-

DIVISION 1

Winton YMCA B 9 New Milton B 1

North Bmth B 6 New Milton D 4

DIVISION 3

New Milton E 7 New Milton F 3

DIVISION 4

New Milton H 3 Breamore 7

DIVISION 5

Bmth Sports T 10 New Milton K 0

Max De Kment’s hat-trick helped his C side to reverse a four week losing run of 3-7’s in Div 1 with a 7-3 away win over Broadstone A. New signing Martin Jerome bagged a brace and captain James Lewis chipped in with the one win. De Kment crowned his evening by winning the doubles with Lewis.

    Hat-trick hero Max in “civvies”

Steve Hemmings and Phil Handy came up with their own hat-tricks to help their A team beat Premier basement boys Merton B 7-3 in their own backyard. Handy’s brother Frank is still unbeaten as he came up with his seventh full house of the season for the G team in Div 3, and Clive Pitts also came up with a hat-trick in Div 3.

MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN SHAUN:-

New Milton Table Tennis Club came up with four wins in the Bournemouth and District League, but one of the wins was at the expense of one of their own teams in a local derby. Turning the form book upside down in Div 3, the E team beat their table-topping G team by 6-4, despite yet another hat-trick from the unbeaten Frank Handy. Handy was joined in a treble by brother Phil whose threesome helped the A team to a hard-fought draw in the Premier. The performance of the week came in Div 4 as the H team whitewashed basement boys Winton YMCA D 10-0, thanks to hat-tricks from Matthew Winter, Luke Gurton and Dan Williams. In Div 5, the table-topping J team were gifted a 10-0 victory and four points as Bournemouth Sports V had to concede their match as they couldn’t put out a team. Hungarian Zoltan Karib-Barath and 12 year old Matthew Daish came up with their first hat-tricks of the season to help their B team to a 9-1 victory over Bransgore in Div 1.

New Milton Table Tennis Club had their best week in the Bournemouth and District league so far this season as they won five out of their ten matches, including welcome first wins for the B and F teams. Star performers included Matthew Daish (pictured below) who celebrated his 12^th birthday a day early by winning a game in the Premier having been called up from Div 1. Ian Linney registered his first hat-trick for his F team in Div 3, and Sam Watkins played out of his skin to help his J team to a 6-4 win over fellow Div 5 title contenders Bournemouth Sports T. The G team’s Frank Handy continues to defy superlatives as he scored yet another hat-trick to remain unbeaten in the league.

15 year old Jack Fisher bagged a hat-trick to help his K team (Div 5) to a rare victory as they beat Merton J 6-4 in their own back yard. Further heroics came in Div 5 as hat-tricks from Richard Ursell and Keith Kensley helped propel their J team to the top of the division. Not such good news at the opposite end of the league as the club’s top three teams all lost, including the A team’s whitewash at the hands of the Premier leaders. The full results are below:- Read the rest of this entry →

In the first of the New Milton Table Tennis Club’s local derbies, the G team edged it over their F team 6-4 in Div 3, thanks to yet another fine hat-trick from the unbeaten Frank Handy. The club’s best result of the week came in Div 5 as the J team demolished league newcomers Winton YMCA F by 10-0. Also worthy of a mention is the club’s only wheelchair player Shaun Newcomb who played up in the Premier from Div 1 and won two matches, including a win over ex club mate Geoff Ware.
