New teams and players are always welcome and even after the season has started, it may be possible to integrate new individual players into teams which may need replacements or reserves, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch at any stage.

Final League Standings 2019-2020 Season

The outbreak of coronavirus and the subsequent national lockdown brought the 2019-2020 season to a premature conclusion with a handful of fixtures remaining to be played.

Division 1

Winners: North Mundham Assassins

Runners Up: North Mundham Fanatics

3rd: North Mundham Crusaders

Division 2

Winners: Arundel Eagles

Runners Up: Bognor Logheads

3rd: North Mundham Gladiators

2017-2018 Season at the Halfway Mark (December 2017)

The 2017-2018 has reached the halfway mark, although due to a number of postponements not all the designated matches have been played yet. Noth Mundham Fanatics are the surprise leaders in Division 1, although Arundel Hawks are dangerously poised on their shoulders with a game in hand. Newly promoted Eastergate Tigers are finding life hard in the top division, but although they are bottom without a win, they are still in touching distance of North Mundham Vipers and Bognor Tigers. In Division 2, last year’s runners-up Selsey Seals are in pole position after five wins out of five, closely followed by Arundel Finches.

On an individual basis, four Division 1 players are maintaining a 100% record so far – Adam Corell & Mike White (Arundel Hawks), Alan Gess (North Mundham Fanatics) and Paul Keates (Eatergate Lions). In Division 2, there are also four unbeaten players – Dave Steel (Arundel Steels), Simon Bradley (Selsey Seals),  Geoff Horne (Bognor Cobras) and Makesh Andani (Bognor Cobras) who is new to the league and has played just the one game so far.

Jarek Dominates North Mundham Hard Bat Tournament (September 2017)

Well done to Jarek Klamut for his performance in the North Mundham Hard Bat 2017 competition, winning the singles and also the doubles with his partner Gerry Hull. In the singles, Jarek beat Alan Pickering in the QF and Peter Baldwin in the SF to set up a Final against Gary Masters who had come through against Chris Newberry in the QF and Keith Corell in the SF. The Final was a close fought match, ending 2-1, with Jarek raising his game towards the end of a close final set. The Final of the doubles followed a similar pattern, with Keith Corell and Ian Taylor failing to capitalise on 3 match points, leaving Jarek and Gerry to win the final set 17-15. Special thanks to Gary Masters for organising the event.

MSTTA A Win the Division One Title (May 2016)

Congratulations to MSTTA A – Jarek Klamut, Artur Kuznicki, Mateusz Sadlowski and Krzysztof Paraficz – on winning the Division 1 title with 15 victories and one draw, which came against 2nd placed Arundel Kestrels (who were last year’s Champions, as Arundel Leopards).

North Mundham Crusaders took 3rd place, with Eastergate Lions 4th. Last year’s runners-up, North Mundham Assassins came 5th. At the other end of the table, Bognor Tigers and North Mundham Vipers ended the season with identical points tallies and records and could only be separated by their head-to-head results, with a win/draw in Vipers’ favour leaving Bognor Tigers at the bottom.

MSTTA B Seal Division Two Title With Victory in Final Match (May 2016)

Congratulations to MSTTA B (Richard Steel, Morgan Steel, Max Steel and Wiki Brewka on Winning Division 2.

The final match of the SWSTTL Division 2 season saw a postponed match deciding top spot with MSTTA B needing just two 2 points to tie for top spot, as they were holding all the cards with a 6 point advantage over Eastergate Tigers. If Eastergate were going to win then they needed a 9-1 victory for an outright win and avoiding a count back. This was going to be a tall order for the Eastergate side if Richard Steel, who had a 100% average, was going to play.

Eastergate Triumph in Handicap Cup Final (March 2016)

The Handicap Cup final took place on Tuesday 22nd March at Eastergate Village hall between Eastergate Tigers and MSTTA B.

Richard Steel decided not to play so the teams were :

Eastergate Tigers : Richard Crosby (28), Darren Wadey (25) and Alan Brackenbury (28).

MSTTA B : Wiki Brewka (25), Max Steel (27) and Morgan Steel (30)

This was a great match between 3 experienced all round defensive players and 3 young quick attacking players and could have gone either way, but eventually Eastergate triumphed 5 – 4 1/2.

Richard took on Morgan for the 1st game and won the first set comfortably 11-4, but Morgan struck back winning 11-7, after this it was a close game with the next 2 sets going Richard’s way 11-7, 11-10, but the damage had been done in the 1st set and Richard won by 40 points to 38.

Darren then took on Wiki who played a positive attacking game, but Darren’s defence was too good and he took the set 11-9. In the second set Darren attacked and defended well to win 11-6, but Wiki stepped up the game to win the next set 11-10, but lost the last set 10-11 to give Darren the win 37-35.

Max came out against Alan determined to attack, but Alan defended well, changing the pace and spin and Max’s frustration got the better of him, and he lost the set 3-11. The second set went much the same as the first, but after this with some calming words from Richard, Max started to topspin the ball and concentrate on his shots, winning the next set 11-10, before losing the last set 10-11 to lose 25-48.

3-0 to Eastergate

Darren was next against Morgan, but he had to concede 9 points and Morgan took full advantage of his attack to win the 1st set 11-7. In the second and third sets Darren defended brilliantly, moving Morgan round the table and catching him out of position, winning 11-7 and 11-4. In the 4th set Morgan attacked hard using his forehand to drive Darren back, eventually winning 11-9. This was enough to take the game 42-38.

Peter then played Max who had found his rhythm and won the first 2 sets 11-8. Peter struck back in the 3rd to win 11-5, before Max took the last 11-6 to win the game 38-35.

Wiki who had to concede 6 points to Alan struggled in the first 2 sets against Alan’s defence and lost these 11-10 and 11-8, but then pulled out some excellent spin serves against which Alan had no answer, either returning off the table or setting up Wiki’s attack and he lost these 11-6 losing 39-40.

3-3.

Max against Darren saw Darren take the first 3 sets 11-6, 11-8, 11-9, before Max gained the confidence to attack, winning the last 11-7, but it was not enough, Darren winning 40-38.

Alan against Morgan was one of the best games of the night with Morgan attacking and Alan chopping back from the table and picking balls up just above the floor. This purple patch lasted for the first 3 sets winning 11-5, 11-8, 11-7 before Morgan fought hard, just losing the last set 10-11, Alan winning 44-36.

The last game between Wiki and Peter was just as good, with Wiki’s attack and Peter chopping and floating the ball, it was hard fought all the way, Peter lost the first 2 sets 11-7 and 11-5, before winning the 3rd 11-8 and just losing the 4th 11-10.

After their defeat in the League it was a delighted Eastergate team who all played very well who triumphed on the night.

A big thank you to Eastergate for hosting it and an special thanks go to Alan Brackenbury’s wife who served some lovely home made cakes, scones and biscuits.

Balls for the 2015-2016 Season (September 2015)

The SWSTTL Committee’s decision on which balls (the old celluloid or the new plastic balls) should be used for the coming 2015-2016 season was that the Home team should be free to choose.

In the interests of making it easier for players participating in tournaments and national/regional leagues, Table Tennis England recommends the use of the new ball, but while the celluloid balls remain on the ITTF approved list clubs are permitted to continue to use them. Further guidance is here: http://tabletennisengland.co.uk/news/plastic-balls-your-questions-answered-2/

A reminder to all players entering the league for the 2015-2016 season – don’t forget to renew your Table Tennis England membership which runs from 1st August to 31st July. Every league player must have at least Player Membership (£10 Seniors or £5 Cadets/Juniors).

Lois Peake stars for England Junior Girls in Bratislava (July 2015)

Congratulations to Lois on winning the deciding rubber against Belgium as England’s Junior Girls team clinched seventh place at the European Youth Championships in Bratislava in July.

Although Lois lost the opening match to Marie Maesen, leaving England needing to win all the remaining matches, they duly did, with Tin-Tin Ho beating Margo Degraef and Maesen before Lois won a see-saw clash with Degraef in the fifth set.

Lois, Tin-Tin and Maria Tsaptsinos had beaten Greece, Finland, Bosnia, Estonia and Germany in previous rounds.

Lois, who started out with North Mundham TTC, is now ranked at No. 3 for England Women U-21s and at No. 8 for England Senior Women.
