Press Report
In the Grant Matthewson Norwich & District Table Tennis League, Foxwood A moved into third place in Premier A with two 10-0 wins over Gothic A and CEYMS B. Jon Cockburn only playing in his third match in 8 months took time to settle but improved over both the matches to win all his games. His availability in the second half of the season could be key to Foxwood's title aspirations. Ryan Collins starred for Wensum A as they continued on their march to the title with an impressive 8 -2 win over their B side for whom Owe Karlsson was the only winner, including the notable scalp of Lauren Spink, her first defeat of the season. Sean Molloy inspired Wensum B2 to a 7 3 victory over Hospitals A with a fine maximum including the doubles. Kevin Gray making a rare appearance for Hospitals ensured Wensum did not have it all their way with fine wins over Frank Hayward & Chris Jones. At the half way stage of the season Wensum C, Foxwood C and UEA head the Premier B table with UEA maintaining their 100% record and firm favourites to take the title. Matt Haynes of UEA is the leading player with team mate Sam Collins not far behind. Wensum C and Foxwood C will probably be left fighting for the runners up spot. At the other end of the table Taverham B and Firstline Factors are making valiant efforts to keep out of the relegation zone. In Division 1, Dale Ajeto maintained his 100% singles record helping Wensum D beat CEYMS 8-2, with the two Andy's, Bonham and Tuddenham taking a game each. Fairfield A, without Eric Thornton, struggled against Briston D,for whom Lindsay and Julie Horstead won all singles. The Returners avenged their season opening defeat against Gothic C with a convincing 8-2 victory. James Skilleter was in commanding form taking all 3 singles in straight sets. Jason Peck also completed an unexpected maximum. Alan Hough and Peter Holland both beat the unlucky Aaron Hacon, who took both to deuce in the fifth sets.Foxwood D were made to fight against lowly NCC to maintain top spot in Division 2 with a 5-5 draw. SFC lost ground with their second defeat to Remploy A who enjoyed a good run of results elevating them to 4th position. Telephones C with two victories pushed themselves up to 5th but Wensum E with three defeats in a row are down to 6th.
In Division 3 Taverham 'D' worked the double over Dynamic Rams scoring 7-3 at both meetings. Highlight of the match was the game between young Tom Baldock-Yaxley and the unbeaten Steve Gurton. Tom played well beyond his years to lose narrowly 11-8 in the third game and pushed Steve throughout. Easton took the scalp of division leaders Ex Choristers 'B' with two good brace of wins for Neil Baxter and Jack Harrowing. However the choir boys bounced back in the next week to beat the Wensum 'F' youngsters 9-1

Match Report - Hellesdon YCOB v Firstline Factors
13/01/2010, played at United Reform Church.
Hellesdon YCOB beat Firstline Factors 9-1.
It all went wrong for visiting Firstline Factors when skipper Alan Walpole pulled his back during the knock-up in his first game with Mel Humphries and had to concede his other two games. With the floor being unusually slippery towards the end of the evening Peter Wright did not feel able to continue and conceded the remainder of his game with Mel. A disappointing night for all when matches between the two sides are normally very close and competitive.
