Annual Closed Championships – Results
Yesterday, WDTTL Annual Closed Championships were held from 8:00 am– 6:00pm. In total 43 competitors of all ages and abilities competed in 17 different events, both singles and doubles, from Under 12 boys to Veterans 70+!
Needless to say it was a fantastic day of table tennis with some outstanding play from those relatively new to the sport to those who have many years of experience. All matches were played in an excellent spirit and it was particularly good to see our younger players achieving some excellent results in the rounds against more experienced players – a very bright future ahead for them and the League!
The finalists in all events are listed below and these will be played on two separate Finals Nights later in the season (details to follow nearer the time).
As always, grateful thanks to our sponsors DTH Engineering whose continued support is very much appreciated and without it events such as the Annual Championships, Finals Nights, Presentation Evening and the development of table tennis in the Worksop area would not be possible.
