Table tennis: Tight at the top in the Llandudno league

Dec 3 2009

THE Division Two title race in the Llandudno and District Table Tennis League looks to be heading to the wire.

After week nine’s matches Police B went top for the first time this season, albeit jointly with Amlwch.

The boys in blue enjoyed a comfortable 9-1 victory over Denbigh C while Amlwch went one better with a 10-0 whitewash over bottom club Y Morfa D.

Denbigh B maintained their unbeaten record with a 9-1 success over their D team and Craig-y- Don B beat Glan Clwyd Hospital 6-4, Ady Waugh extending his unbeaten league record in a tight five-game duel with Clive Sparkes.

A Handicap Cup first round clash saw Amlwch B edge past Craig–y –Don A by 16 points, although First Division Craig won the nine matches predicted by the handicap.

The key clash saw Amlwch’s higher-rated Don Hobbs up against John Bastin, who was hoping for 40 points, but the experienced Hobbs wore him down for a 50-24 result that secured Amlwch’s success.

Division One side Y Morfa B’s improving form was good enough to see off their C team 7-3, Geoff Hollis leading the way with his first maximum of the season.

Chris Henderson got off the mark with an excellent win over Andy Horton and a straight sets victory against Pru Oakes.
