Fleckney Spinners
Fleckney Table Tennis Club is settling into its temporary home at the main hall of Kibworth Mead Academy. We were gratified to see that the team which beat us in the semi-final of the Elbow Tankard went on to win the top prize. We wish all our junior and senior League players good luck for the coming season.
Matches
Our first match on Friday 5 September gave us a 3/7 defeat courtesy of Knighton Park (KP) 14. Omar Morsy won two of his games, and Pete Wilson and Jan Nix won our third point in the doubles match. On Thursday 18 September there was a 10/0 defeat for Fleckney 4 (F4) against KP 15. It was also a brave debut in the League for Craig Bosworth who has been a member of the club for only a few months. The opponents are a wily crew! There was a good win for F3 in the derby against F4 who lost 3/7 to their club mates with Omar Morsy the man of the match, winning all three of his games. It was a tough night against Leicester Tennis and Squash Club who fielded their three strongest players to win 9/1 against F2 with Andy Haddon scoring the point.
Results
Wednesday 1 October saw another point for Fleckney 4. This time Lennon Devlin contributed two matches and Omar Morsy the other one as they faced the team from Leicester Tennis and Squash Club. Our first team finally played its first match of the season that night. Each team member contributed two matches in a reasonably comfortable 7/3 win against KP 10 which was a good start for F1 on their return to Division 3. Contributions from Naresh Shah and Jan Nix, plus Jan Green’s maximum against Nomads 2 made it two wins in a row for F3 with a score of 6/4 on Thursday 2 October.
As always, the first session and the coaching is free. This is an ideal sport to consider as the nights draw in.
