Bournemouth & District Table
Tennis Association - Annual Individual Championships
James
and Nathan Clean Up
At the Bournemouth and
District Table Tennis Association Finals Night held at Winton YMCA on Friday 16th
May, James Whitehorn swept the board by winning both his singles finals and
helped to win his two doubles finals. 21-year-old James from Broadstone
started the ball rolling by joining with Tom Andrews from Bournemouth Sports to
just pip Lynwood players Mark Werner and Alan Smith by 3-2 in the Men’s
Doubles.
James went on to beat his
doubles partner Tom Andrews convincingly in three straight games in the Premier
Division final and then did likewise against premier’s Mathew Haynes (Ringwood)
in the Bournemouth Closed. James capped his evening by partnering his sister
Joy Whitehorn (Bournemouth Sports) to overcome Hannah Hicks and Stephen Foster
(both from Bournemouth Sports) in three straight games to win the Mixed
Doubles.
Nathan Bingham from
Bournemouth Sports also had an excellent evening by winning all of his three
matches. 15-year-old Nathan who hails from Tuckton took the Div 2 title by
beating Adam Elcock (North Bmth) in three straight ends and went on to beat his
club mate Div 1’s Stephen Foster by 3-1 in the Junior Under 18s. He met another
club mate, premier’s Tom Andrews in the Bournemouth Closed Handicap who, with a
scratch start found the ever-improving Nathan’s 11 start a bridge too far.
The youngsters had to
share some of the limelight with wily veteran Danny Allen (Merton) who won the
40+ and 60+ titles. He missed out on the 50+ title by losing by 12-10 in the
fifth game against fellow premier player Brian Bickell (Kinson) but got his
revenge by turning the tables on him in the 60+ final.
