Latest News | Worksop Table Tennis League

I have been asked by numerous players about what is happening to teams playing out of Redlands for next season so I thought it best to clarify the situation.
Howard Knott informed the League a number of weeks ago that Redlands will not be entering any teams in the Worksop League for next season and will instead be putting on a Pairs League for Redlands players on a Tuesday night.
The reason for this is so they can have more time to focus more on Junior players.
What will this mean for the Worksop League?
The League have already made provisions for Redlands teams or individual players to continue to play in our League at other venues such as Sparken Hill, Worksop Leisure Centre and possibly Clowne and there is ample space for all seven Redlands teams if they wished to continue playing in the League.
Currently we have had a number of teams and players confirming that they will continue to play in the League next season and myself and the Committee are being very pro-active in speaking to Redlands players to ensure that we get as many teams as we possibly can continuing to play in our League next season.
Hope that makes the situation a lot clearer.

A brief report on last Sunday's Annual Championships can now be found on the league's website on the Match Reports page.

This year's Finals Nights which will be held at Stanley Street Club are on Tuesday the 26th of February and Tuesday the 26th of March.
If any player can't make one of those dates then can they please e-mail me at [email protected] to let me know.
Once I have a definitive list of availability I will send and e-mail round with the order of play for each night.

All the results from yesterdays Annual Championships can now be found on the 'Championships' page.

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone that helped at yesterday's Annual Championships.
It's a very long day and a lot of hard work goes into putting it on and it wouldn't be possible without players scoring games, getting players to tables and setting up and putting away the equipment.
A special mention to Nigel Stent for helping me run the competitions and to Fiona Halpin-Stent for running the Tea/Coffee stand.
All the results will be put on the website over the next few days.
