Whitby Table Tennis Club teams earn league double success
Whitby Table Tennis Club players who took part in the Scarborough Table Tennis League can feel justifiably proud of themselves for the club’s two teams have both finished the season as champions of their respective division.
This speaks volumes for the strength, determination and commitment of the players in a demanding season running from October to April.
The Resolution team won Division 2 by a large margin thanks to their consistent excellence.
Leading player, Hugo Spark, recorded an amazing 97% of victories in his 38 matches, the best record in the league.
This was closely followed by veteran performer, John Hanson, who won 92% of his matches.
There can be little doubt that such success merited reward as the team’s 16 games resulted in 15 wins and one draw. Worthy champions indeed!
The Endeavour team were led by experienced player, Graeme Williams, who captained his team to an equally impressive record of 15 wins from 16 matches.
Leading performer was youngster, Charlie Sedman, whose improvement through the season does him great credit and helped him to notch up 34 wins in 38 matches, a success rate of 89%, the best in the league.
Team mate Kevin Barleycorn was not far behind him with 30 wins from 35 games. A record to be proud of!
In the club’s end-of-season internal competitions Hugo Spark won the Senior Singles title.
The cup for this has been renamed “The Barry Davies Trophy” in memory of a highly respected club member who sadly passed away several weeks ago and is sorely missed by friends and teammates.
In other competitions the Harland family excelled as young Theo won the Junior Singles only to be followed by grandfather and grandson combination, “Titch” and Josh Harland winning the Doubles.
All in all it has been an outstanding season! Whitby can fly the flag for its table tennis players high and proud!
