A LATE result in the Aldershot Table Tennis League’s Handicap Cup was a dream outcome for the handicapper – a 6-6 tie between Tennis H and Frimley C.

The top performers were Ken Lewington (Tennis) and Peter Farrelly (Frimley) who won two singles apiece and tied their own contest. Martin Evans also won two singles for Tennis who took the match on countback, 404-365.

Ash B suffered their first defeat of the season in Division One, this against a two-man Central B who won 6-4. Andy Appleby won all three for Central, backed up by Martin Townshend’s double.

Nigel Oh, Tim Ngyou and John Wheeler secured doubles as Frimley A beat Tennis C 7-3, all losing to Paul Shakespeare who claimed a heroic maximum for Tennis.

Fleet A whitewashed Tennis E to further extend their lead at the top of Division Two. David Joyce, Lawrence Dack and Fallon Thompson will surely be playing in the top flight next season.

In Division Three, Cody D showed no mercy on their E team, beating them 9-1. Fan Lei and Bob Fenner were both unbeaten and Dean Hewitt won twice.

Tennis F moved back to the top of the table with an 8-2 victory over Fleet B. Peter Killick and Graham Marshall recorded trebles.

Ash D and Cody C shared the spoils. John Harvey claimed a treble for Cody, while Terry French and Margaret Thornton each won two for Ash.

Crawley Ridge B eased back to the top of Division?Four with a 7-3 victory over Fleet C. Alan Yeung won all his singles for the losers, but doubles for Richard Hornby, David Marchant and Phil Garrett gave Crawley Ridge the edge.

Just below them in the table, Frimley E and Tennis J shared the points. Frimley’s Dennis Smith had a full house, while Mehrdad Abutalebi won two for Tennis.

Cody F squeezed past Braybrooke B 6-4. Sandra Jackson (Braybrooke) was the star performer with three wins. Norrie Short and Nigel Willshire both won twice for Cody.
