Press report
In the Grant Matthewson Norwich & District Table Tennis League, Wensum A have clinched the Premier A title for the first time with narrow 6- 4 victory over 3rd placed Foxwood A. Star of the match was Lauren Spink for Wensum who won her three singles plus the doubles with Ryan Collins who also took two singles. Steve Sadd played well for Foxwood beating both Ryan Collins and Tony Zeqiri. Wensum A followed up this narrow win by thrashing bottom club Briston B 10-0.
Focus in Premier B was on the relegation clash between Taverham B and Nuorder B when a maximum from Stewart Lines and a brace from Andy Calver were enough to see Taverham B win 6-4 and overtake their rivals in the table. Taverham B also secured a valuable draw against Gothic B when Martyn Cook won two important singles ties for Taverham. Nuorder A completed a difficult season with two defeats by Taverham A and Hellesdon YCOB. The win for Hellesdon takes them to the top of the table for a very temporary period as other teams below them have games in hand. Mid table Sands B lost 3-7 to Gothic B for whom Paul Pegg was in good form. In Division 1, a strong Gothic C beat Briston D 8-2 to secure runners- up spot, with an excellent treble for newcomer Dennis Bacon. Briston’s Lindsay Horstead played well to gain an unexpected win over Joe Taplin. Choppers maintain their challenge for runners-up spot in Division 2 with a convincing 8-2 victory over Newton Flotman A. SFC are back to winning ways crushing Wensum E 9-1, with the forthcoming match against Choppers deciding their promotion ambitions. Telephones C defeated RRMYC 7-3 in a close contest thanks to a Chris Thirtle maximum.
In Division 3 the youngsters of Wensum 'F' continued their 'demolition' of teams above them by beating a weakened Dynamic Rams side. Liam Pye continues to impress with his improvement this season.

In the Grant Matthewson Norwich & District Table Tennis League, with the season drawing to a close, Wensum A need only 5 points to win the title from their three remaining games, this is assuming Foxwood A take 16 points from their remaining four games. In the battle at the bottom Hospitals A gained a draw against relegated Briston B with Howard Lupton inspiring Briston B with a maximum. However they suffered a heavy 8-2 defeat against CEYMS C who moved above them, Steve Pendle & Keith Hunt both with maximums for CEYMS C. Pride of place in Premier B goes to wooden spoonists Firstline Factors who achieved their first victory in the penultimate week of the season. Gritty performances from Peter Wright and Harold Chapman earned a welcome 6-4 victory against a struggling Nuorder B. Earlier in the week Firstline drew with Telephones A when skipper Alan Walpole turned on the style with an impressive maximum. At the other end of the table Wensum C kept up the pressure on UEA and Foxwood C after a 9-1 thumping of Sands and a 5-5 draw with Hellesdon. In the tie with Hellesdon, Wensum squandered a 4-1 lead as Mel Humphries lead a Hellesdon revival to keep their own unbeaten run going. In Division 1 Mary Sawyer played very well to take a brace of singles for Missionaries but, disappointingly, Andy Watson and Simon Halliday played well below par, and this allowed Briston to run out 8-2 winners. Andy Tuddenham won two singles for CEYMS D, who were without Andy Bonham, as they lost 7-3 to Returners, who look likely to finish runners up in the table. James Skilleter looked in a different class taking a maximum for Returners. Aaron Hacon securing a well earned maximum as Returners worked hard for a draw against Missionaries. Unfortunately, Aaron's team mates struggled and managed only one win between them. For Missionaries, Andy Watson and Richard Westgate picked up braces, and Mary Sawyer won one. Fairfields, still without a win, lost to a strong Gothic side who are back in second spot. Telephones C dented the Division 2 promotion hopes of SFC with a close 6-4 victory with Stuart Laws the deciding factor. Foxwood D are closing in on promotion after hammering Newton Flotman A 8-2. Choppers hold on to runners-up spot after comfortably beating Wensum E 7-3. The Division 3 team of the week undoubtedly Wensum 'F' beating top dogs Easton 6-4 and then imposing the biggest defeat of the season on promotion candidates YMCA. Stephen Harsley, Paul Edwards, Rachel Tooke and the greatly improved Liam Pye certainly played their socks off to gain the vital points and stir up the promotion battle. The other promotion contenders Ex Choristers 'B' maintained their push with a fine 7-3 away win against Remploy'B' where Geoff Critten impressed for Remploy 'B' saving a point with a fine maximum.
