The Mike Flynn Memorial Award is awarded to the most improved junior in Table Tennis Wellington for the previous year also including attitude, cooperation and respect for others. We would like to congratulate Ellen Xiong as the winner of the award for 2013! As well as her excellent play and friendly attitude, her work on the Waterloo club committee has been greatly appreciated by Waterloo and beyond.
Let me leave you with some recent pictures from the Summer interclub currently in progress…
Here are the first week’s result tables as xls including team and individual results to date. Bruce has draws made up for this summer’s competition but we won’t publish them in advance because we are trying with a bit of a surprise factor by having you now know who you are playing until turning up on the night!
Notices for the upcoming Summer Interclub are on their way out and details are below. Let your club contact know that you are available to play! The 7-week summer competition with 2-player teams is a good opportunity to bring in a friend or two from the past who might not have played for a few years.
In a nutshell:
Composite teams (players from separate clubs in the same team) are fine just be sure to have both clubs know about the team and have it be entered by one of the clubs. (Check with your club contact.)
The full 2014 TTW Summer Interclub Entry Form is here as a doc or a pdf.
Location: here.
Details for the summer interclub series will be coming soon, so it’s time to start your training!
For those who competed in the earlier composite summer interclub and the curious, here is the final stat wrap-up: 2013 Composite Interclub-Final, congratulations to the winning teams.

Draws:
Division 1
Division 2
As a reminder, details of the event are here.
It’s 6 weeks from Oct 30 to Dec 4. The 6-team division one will be 5 weeks round-robin and then a 1v2/3v4/5v6 final night. The 8-team division two will be split into two sections for 3 weeks, then re-formed into 2 sections for the last 3 weeks (based on the results of the first split).
Hi all, these are updated sheets which now include the results from deferred matches and the finals nights.
** NEWS: Wellington team got second place in the B grade at the senior nationals, a great effort!** (Rob Chung, Ben Collins, Depak Patel, Paul Solt.)
In a nutshell: Wednesdays, 6 weeks Oct 30 – Dec 4. (Probably as 6-team divisions playing 5 weeks and a final.) Ref below for the details:
2013 TTW Spring Interclub Entry Form (doc)
2013 TTW Spring Interclub Entry Form (pdf)
Players, contact your club contact for entries.
Encourage your friends to enter, the composite structure is a good change of pace and is also a good opportunity to people new to interclub to come in and get some mentoring.
Entries are due to Kevin Haines treasurer [at] ttwellington.org.nz or phone (04) 478 0841 by Wednesday Oct 24.
If you can’t make all 6 weeks, that is OK, we can combine you with someone else or it would be great to have you as a reserve – with the composite structure finding reserves is trickier so it’s useful to have a heap of them just in case.
On Tuesday and Wednesday the 1st vs. 2nd placed team finals took place, the winners were:
Premier: Belmong Bang beat Titan (Premier Scoresheet)
The 2013 Premier final was played in front of a number of spectators who were treated to an arm wrestle of a contest which went to the last match. Most matches provided opportunities for both teams to win and the tension of the occasion created the atmosphere it deserved.
Congratulations to both teams on their efforts, particularly to Belmont Bang for their victory and the retention of the Tommy Williams Trophy.
Division 1: Waterloo Wasps beat Empire Elders
Division 2: Waterloo Whales beat Empire Elms
Division 3: Waterloo Whippets beat Empire Eagles
Congratulations to all winners and the runners-up too!
