Newton Abbot TTC - Competitions
It was the turn of the handicap doubles tonight at Teign School. There were many excellent close encounters in the group stages which saw our reigning champions, Sonja and Kevin, surprisingly lose out, so a new name would go on the trophy.
Fine performances from Fred Wakefield and Steve Tyler saw them progress to the semi final to face Curtis Sage and David Sillifant. The three point start not quite enough as David and Curtis marched on to the final.
The other semi final saw Albie Andrews and Tomo recover from 2-1 down to defeat David Davies and Mitch Bellham in five.
The final could’ve gone either way. In an excellent topsy turvy match, Curtis and David took the first game, Albie and Tomo hit back winning the next two, all very close games. David and Curtis came from behind in the fourth to take it 12-10. The final game was neck and neck with some brilliant points, Albie’s hard hitting and Tomo’s excellent control eventually saw them home 11-9 in the fifth.
Next Friday there is no competition but a fine chance for teams to get together for a decent practice session.
Friday 25th Sept is our Club’s Singles Shield competition, don’t miss that one!! 🏓🏆
