Dass Spieler unseres Vereins auch in der weiten Welt des Tischtennis mithalten können, zeigt der nachfolgende Bericht. Jenny studiert zur Zeit in Brighton und nahm an den Sussex Closed Championships 2011 teil.

Report by Rory Scott

There were 68 entrants playing in the recent 2011 Sussex County Championship at the Triangle Leisure Centre, Burgess Hill. This was not bad considering that the event was organised at short notice. Although some of the top players from certain events were missing, due to other events on the same day, there were also a no. of the top players present. Unfortunately there were no entries for the U18s Girls & Ladies doubles & only 1 entry for the Veteran Ladies singles, so these events were all cancelled.

Division 2 Singles: Gold for Glistau

This was a new event for players who play in the 2nd highest division of league or below and was Steve Pound’s idea. It proved popular with 13 entrants. Next season Steve envisages events for 3rd & 4th tier local league players too. The top seed for this was junior singles runner-up Collins. He duly won his group, but had an awful struggle in the quarters coming back from 2-0 down vs Patrick Lorenz (Hollingbury) to win 9-11, 7-11, 11-4, 11-7, 18-16! His run came to an abrupt end in the semi final at the hands of Jenny Glistau (Hollingbury) who won 3-1. Jenny comes from Germany. On the other side of the draw, 2nd seed Bob Hoare (Pavilion) defeated Dave Richardson (Woodlands) 3-1 to set up a Glistau/Hoare final. Jenny won this encounter 3-1.
