ORFORD & DISTRICT TABLE TENNIS
Playing at home gave no advantage this week with all home teams going down. Round seven marks the halfway mark of the competition for the year. No surprises. Warrnambool sit pretty undefeated at present, St Helens and Attunga (remember they have a game to catch up) giving chase. Tarrone having taken over the bottom after being defeated by Macarthur.Round 7Attunga v Winslow. Winslow seems to be struggling for players; it’s no way to tackle the consistent Attunga team. Going in undermanned will only get you defeated.Macarthur v Vikings. Nightowl would tip Macarthur to win this game if they played the Drendel’s and Adrian Fitzpatrick but if they don’t Vikings have the edge. St Helens v Warrnambool. Warrnambool are on top undefeated for a number of reasons: consistency, fitness and they’re just plain too good! St Helens might push but when it comes to shove, Warrnambool has the grunt! Tarrone the bye. Round 5 Results.Tarrone were defeated by Vikings 4.15/7.24. Tarrone held their end up but didn’t win the close encounters to get over the line. Rodger Learmonth, Vikings was the night’s three-rubber winner. Macarthur were defeated by St Helens 2.14/9.28Just whom will St Helens pull out of the hat next? This week Aaron Rowbottom dusted off the paddle, winning his three rubbers to make the winning night. St Helens won four of the six extended rubbers, working hard too get the four points. Attunga were defeated by Warrnambool 3.13/8.27The long rubbers made for a late night, but Warrnambool had the edge in the end. Attunga couldn’t just win the extra point, Warrnambools extra fitness or eye getting them over the line. Bill Beattie won his three rubbers.Winslow the bye.
