STUNNING RESULT FOR GORLESTON
The Waveney Terminators were in for a surprise when they visit the
Conservatives Gorleston venue. Albeit without two of their stronger players,
the Terminators, who are currently placed second in the division, may have
expected an easier time from one of this season’s promoted sides. But the
Conservatives were a player short and took the wise decision to bring up Terry Shetliffe from the second division to assist. As
Conservatives forged a 5-2 lead David Boatman took the helm and the match was
5-4 with the doubles to play. Boatman and Trevor Pull took the first set, but
with Shetliffe able to take advantage of some high
returns from Malcolm Vasey service, the pair won a close second set. Again the
Terminators stormed in front and led 19-16 in a pulsating final set before
Vasey and Shetliffe secured a surprising victory
23-21.
The
Conservatives were in action again in a postponed match from the first league
week. However the Tables would offer much firmer resistance. Eddie Mason and
Darren Swan won three a piece with only two points dropping as first Malcolm
Vasey defeated Stephen Cruickshanks in a third set and then an on loan David
Willgoss repeated the act in only two. Piranhas meanwhile continue to struggle
to present a full team and had to borrow their own Sidewaves player. But while
Ernie George claimed another straight three, David Holland lost a deciding set
24-22 to Philip Tye and Paula Newrick
couldn’t make any ground. Trimwise may decide this was a lucky escape even
though the Piranhas swan away with a 6-4 victory. Besides the Dominators keep
doing what they know best with another 10-0 victory, this time with the Merlins
as the victims.
In the
second division the Hits were in fine fighting form. Dave Logan and Martyn
Gregory each claimed maximum scores and while Mick Bayfield dropped the ball in
his game against David Willis, he hit back with victory against Bernard Warnes. It was even honours at
The Arrows
struggled once again in league play but they found better form in the
handicapped League Cup semi final. The Spartans were hard pressed when they
lost the first three games, but persistence paid off and they rallied to 4-3. However
Tom Petiffer hadn’t faltered all match and claimed
the fifth point for Arrows when he capped off his evening beating Colin Fortescue. The Arrows will now face the winners of the
Dominators-Misfits in the League Cup Final to be held next Thursday 17th
December in Water Lane Leisure Centre Table Tennis Room at
