As our season draws to a close sad news has come in that two stalwarts of Aylesbury and District Table Tennis are no longer with us.

Keith Creser who will live long in our memories having taken part all of last season.

Ray Harwood - A strong Premier Division player who left the Aylesbury season within the last six years but who sadly passed away recently.

There will be a memorial service for Ray at Wingrave Parish Church on 5 June at 2 pm.

The League sends its condolences to their families, we are thinking of you and will always remember both players and the spirit they showed when playing table tennis.

This note was added to the website on 6 May 2012.

AYLESBURY'S STARS SHINE

Andy Misseldine competed in the 2012 Wycombe Tournament together with his Haddenham compatriot, Mark Scott, Ridgeway's Dawn Pearce and Sports stars, Nick and Robert Hansell. Andy took the Veterans Cup but was beaten in a tough semi final of the men's event by Mark 11-9 in the fifth set. Mark met Robert in the Final losing 3 – 1. Andy and Mark joined forces to take the men's doubles beating Robert and Nick Hansell. Dawn Pearce lost to Mary Heffernan in the Ladies Singles but partnered Robert to a fine mixed doubles win.

 

WELL DONE ANDY see rogues gallery

Andy Misseldine won the Oxford Table Tennis League Division 1 title, the Hewitt Cup, for the 2nd time by beating Jingyu Sun 11-5 in the decider.  Sun appeared to be in good form as he beat Karl Bushell in straight sets in the semis, and most neutrals would have tipped Sun to retain this title this time as it is hard to imagine Sun losing.  Misseldine certainly had the longer route in the semis, going all the way with Pavel Jaskolski.  The final itself saw Sun firing across very low fast loops at Misseldine, and Misseldine trying to block these loops.  It was all Sun in the 1st game, but Misseldine got his block working at its best by the end of the 2nd as the score got to 10-10 and they remained locked till Misseldine finally broke the deadlock 17-15.  He slipped in the 3rd, but equalised by snatching the 4th 13-11.  By the 5th, it was all going Misseldine's way and he ran out the winner 11-5.

WILMOTT CUP

14/1/12

Vale Table Tennis Champions, Haddenham A, gave a good account of themselves on Saturday 14 January at the Queens School Sports Complex in Aldenham Road, North Bushey in the English Leagues Competition, The Wilmott Cup. Darren Palmer and Mark Scott competed without the injured Andy Misseldine against a team that represented St Albans, Hatfield and Welwyn (SHAW) and a team from Watford on the day, with the team that came top of the group proceeding to the finals day in June.

In their encounter with SHAW our team came up against father and son combination, Jimmy and Luke Walsh with Jimmy currently in the top 20 national rankings. Whilst Darren and Mark fought valiantly they could not prevent a 5 – 0 loss. In fact former national players thought they were unlucky to lose so heavily. The Aylesbury team did us proud when they played the Watford team this time winning 5 – 0 with some ease.

Having finished in the runners up spot for the second year running, the Aylesbury Champions will want to fight again next season having enjoyed the match enormously but were very honoured to represent the Aylesbury TT league again.

Many thanks to the Queens School Complex for staging this excellent event, and also to the supporters who turned up to watch.

 

INVITATION EVENT IN SUPPORT OF KELLY SIBLEY

01/05/2012 see www.ittf.com andContact & Links
2012 Olympic Games (Click here to access this section)
Agonisingly one place short of competing in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, she was the first reserve for the Women's Singles event; England's Kelly Sibley is high on the selection list for the Great Britain Team to compete in the table tennis events at the forthcoming 2012 Olympic Games in London.

She is the reigning English National champion and alongside Joanna Parker, very much a mainstay of the national team.
LATEST see below

GREAT NEWS (21/2/12) - Kelly is down to the last four for GB Team Selection for London 2012. The final list of three will not be announced until May but in the meantime Kelly will have a further chance to improve her selection prospects at the National Championships on 2-4 March at Ponds Forge, Sheffield.  She will also be hoping to secure her place in the individual event by competing at the European Olympic qualifying tournaments – the first being in Luxemburg on 11-15 April.  Via this process, Kelly narrowly missed out on an appearance at the 2008 Beijing Olympics when her performance won her the first reserve place for the Women's Singles.

On Saturday 10 th March there will also be an open Exhibition by Kelly and Alan Cooke (Commonwealth Medallist and Olympian) beginning at 5.30 pm which will be free to tournament entrants.  Junior entrants also receive a signed photo of Kelly.

Delicious hot and cold home-made food will be available throughout the day
