Bridlington Table Tennis League and Ryedale Table Tennis League share honours in action-packed friendly
The Bridlington Table Tennis League played Ryedale Table Tennis League in a friendly match last week, at the East Riding Leisure Centre.
Several of the Ryedale players also take part in Division One and Division Two matches in Bridlington during the winter season.
The Ryedale first division beat Bridlington first division 5-4, Barbara Kearney claimed an excellent hat-trick, and Zid Zpzidlaw shot a brace for Ryedale.
Caron Holdsworth scored twice for Bridlington plus one each from Paul Wilkinson and Jacob James in reply.
Scott Ferguson claimed a double and Illhoo scored once for Ryedale in the second match in Division One, Tony Miller shot a brace and Rick Cadenas added one win for Bridlington to secure a 3-3 draw.
Ryedale made a strong start in the Division Two match as Terry Stone and Niall Ferguson both scored twice.
Vicky Barton and Vince Cadenas claimed one win each in reply for Bridlington, but the tide turned when Bridlington's secret weapon, Tina Crockford, was unleashed.
Tina's infamous, evil, pimpled bat destroyed Ryedale with a magnificent hat-trick, and Bridlington won the match 5-4.
The overall match result was 12-12, and everyone agreed that this was a fair result.
There was an international flavour with two Ryedale players from overseas, Illhoo is from the USA, Zid is from Poland, and brothers Rick Cadenas and Vince Cadenas hail from the Philippines, and they now live in Bridlington.
