The finals of the divisional handicap cups took place last week in the
Oldham & District Table Tennis League
In Division 2, in front of a full house at Lees Zion, Failsworth A
entertained Honeywell B, but with only a 7 point start it was always going to
be difficult. Rob Carter, Paul Carter & Nathan Buckley put in their best
efforts and after 7 games were only 8 points behind. The combined gains of
Barrie Royle (27), Howard Travis (18) and Ian Naylor (11) saw Honeywell B
through by a 59 points margin in a great advert for the game of Table Tennis.
In Division 3 Failsworth made the most of their 42 points start to hang
on for a 13 points victory. It was a victory which seemed hardly likely after
the first game when Gilders Tackle No 1, Ade Ewenla, pulled back 26 points to
reduce the arrears to just 16 points with the experienced Martin Nicholls and
Gerry Lees to follow.
To Failsworth’s credit they battled on with spirited performances by
Steve Collins, Richard Hinchliffe and young Matthew Evans to take the Cup.
In Division 4 Honeywell G’s 104 point start was just enough against
Uppermill C as they held out for a 13 point victory. John Ganley, Peter Ganley
& Peter Sharples, all spending their first season in the league, lifted the
Cup for Honeywell G. Uppermill’s Jim Bradbury & Ali Mirza pulled back most
of the points with Mark Burke picking up his bat for the first time in months
to help Uppermill raise a team.
In Division 1 Hyde YMCA A conceded a 76 point start to Hollinwood B and
went on to win by 21 points, picking up 83 points in the last 5 games. Steve
Lyons, Terry Taylor and Lionel Royle formed the winning team with Dave
Cheetham, Colin Boardman & Jack Christian representing Hollinwood in an
excellent and sporting match.
