NZL Junior Nationals-Day 2

July 8, day two at the New Zealand National Junior Championships saw TTW teams play a total of 13 team matches.

The under 15 girls team continued to impress with a 5-0 win over Counties Manukau ‘B’ and a narrow 2-3 loss to Counties Manukau ‘A’ .

In the U/18 Boys team event the TTW team had a 5-0 win over Canturbury,  next we played Tahiti who defeated us 3-2 despite Thom Nguyn leading  the way for Wellington with a  clear 3-0 win over Oceania top 5 U/18 ranked Ocean Belrose and a second singles win.  Later in the day the U/18 team went down 3-2 to the visiting Victorian team and again Thom Nguyen performed well with  a 12-10 win in the fifth over Edward Anderson-Higginson and a win over Brodee Cookson.

The U/15 boys showed a lot of determination throughout the day recording a 3-2 win over the Auckland ‘B’ team with Conal Warrender winning two singles and Matthew Sheppard clinching the match with a 3-2 win over Eugene Yao. The big match was against the North Harbour team with the winner likely to progress through to the final against Auckland ‘A’.  Conal Warrender started well with a 3-2 win, Matthew Sheppard then lost a close match 1-3 before teaming up with Caleb Magan to play a blinder in the doubles. Wellington won the doubles to lead 2-1. The next two matches produced some great table tennis but unfortunately the contest ended in a 3-2 win for the North Harbour team.

U/15 TTW Girls Lead The Way On Day One of Championships

Wellington made a good start in the Under 15 girl’s ‘A’ grade competition with a 5-0 win against North Harbour ‘B’ .  11 year old Angela Chapmen recorded her first victory at National level pairing with Maddy Nash in a 3-0 doubles win and then defeated  Iris Liu 3-0 to make it two wins.

In the new U/13 team events Wellingon ‘B’ were narrowly beaten by Waitemata ‘A’ 3-2. Mats Olsthoorn performed well teaming up with Ben Westenra to win a doubles and also won his singles match.

In the U/18 Boys team event Wellingto played  Auckland ‘A’ with Thom Nguyen recording a 3-1 victory over Z Cheng.  Thom  also had a very exciting  5 set match with Lingnan Kong , where he led 2 sets to nil but unfoutunately lost 3-2. Delano Lam lost 3-0 against Oliver Scarlett and Jeffrey Chin lost 3-1 to Oliver Scarlett. Auckland also won the doubles and Wellington lost 4-1.

Overall Wellington Team Manager Russell Stoupe commented ‘It’s been great to have so much support from the other parents that are here. Everyone is working incredibly hard to look  after the boys and girls which is enabling the team to play to their full potential. Looking forward to some great matches through the coming week.”

Wairarapa Visit – Red Star Veteran club active and encouraging youth.

At the invitation of the Red Star Veteran Table Tennis Club TTW Coach Andrew Hubbard made a visit to the club which is situated in Masterton to carry out a day long coaching clinic. Des Orange who is the current Secretary and Treasurer organised the visit and explained “The club currently operates on a Tuesday morning from 9-12 and we normally get 20-25 people, on Thursday we have a club night from 5-7 and get 10-15 players along. It’s normally veterans who are encouraging younger players to come along. We play an annual fixture against Tawa and Kapiti Coast and try to support the Wellington vets tournaments.”

When asked for sometime positive that was happening and a negative Des replied ” Something positive is that the players that we do have are really keen and theres a great club spirit. Many of them travel quite a way to get home every week. Our main problem is trying to get people interested in admin roles.”

TTW Coach Andrew Hubbard commented that he enjoyed the visit,  saw a lot of improvement, needed to ‘slow’ a few players down during the ‘crossover’ footwork drills and is looking forward to a return visit.
