Good Standard of play in Summer Season Finals.

The Mount Gambier Table Tennis Summer Season came to a close last week with finals in all grades.

In A grade, the Class Act team of Nigel Wittwer, Kym Muller and Steve Maynard proved to be too steady for the Wam trio of Robert Attiwill, Lynda McPharlin and Geoff Ward. Leading from the front, Wittwer won all 3 singles, and with solid performances from his team mates, ended up with a 6-4 win.

B1 grade turned out to be a hard fought affair with many close 5 set matches. Jon Aston winning 3 singles, backed up by Peter Cotton and Michael Hole took the Fireballers team to a 7-4 victory over the Haybails team of Nick Aston, Matt Bailey and Tim Pilven.

In B2 grade, the Right Handers team of Paul Cotton, David Cotton and Jordan Aston had taken all before them all season and were strong favourites to win. However the Mikyme combination of Mick Maynard, Kyle Newlyn and Melissa Lucas showed their finals experience to take out the match 6-5. Maynard leading from the front winning 3 singles.

The C grade final produced an exciting contest with the Pain Dealers team of Coehen Keppels, Scott Fartch and Zachary Comey just scraping in for a 6-5 win over the Kool Kids combination of Chris Cappelleri, Ryan Judd and Shaun Phillips. Keppels maintained his unbeaten run for the season, and is in line for promotion to a higher grade next season.

The Junior 1 final went as expected with the Red team of Patrick Glynn, Riley Glynn and Bianca Terry triumphing over the Green team of Matthew Walmsley/Pace, Catherine and Daniel McGlone by 7 rubbers to 2. Patrick Glynn winning 3 singles.

The Junior 2 final consisted of a play off between the season’s most games won players. This resulted in a win for Phoebe Aston with Gavin May 2^nd and Ellen Beal 3^rd.

Nominations are coming in fast for the next season starting on April 29^th.
