Day 1 - Saturday 16th October
The Westfield trio of Ben Aldridge, Alex Elsom and Adam Koszyk travelled to Birmingham to play the first round of National Junior League.
Round 1 saw them play Birmingham Academy 3. Ben and Alex both won twice, and Adam won his second match after losing a close five-ender in his first.
Round 2 was against Cheslyn Hay Tigers. Again, Westfield ran out 5-1 winners, with Ben and Adam wining two apeice and Alex picking up the single.
Colebridge B were our opponents in Round 3, and werre much stronger opposition. Colebridge were 5-1 winners, with Aex picking up a consolation win in game 6.
Round 4 and Westfield were back on the wining trail, this time against Birmginham 4. Alex, Ben and Adam all picked up two wins to run out 6-0 winners.
Last round of the day was against a very strong Lillington A. Ben was the only player able to pick up a leg, as Lillington showed their class and ran out comfortable 6-0 winners.

Day 2 - Saturday 27th October
The same trio of players returned to Birmingham for Day 2 of NJL. This time we were placed into Division 2. With six teams in the division, there were fice rounds of matches.
Round 1 saw us play Birmingham 3. This was the second time we had played this team, and this time we went one better and won 6-0.
Round 2 was against Birmingham 2, who justified their higher ranking and ran out 4-2 winners. The result was not a fair reflection of the match, with a lot of close ends that didn't go our way.
Next up Lillington B, who ran out 6-0 winners. Again, some ecellent table tennis was played without reward.
Round 4 saw us play Cheslyn Hay Lions, and again, another battling display by the boys but for no reward, Cheslyn running out 6-0 winners.
Our last round was against Bronsgrove, who arguably had the two best players in the division, if not the league. Afer so many close games and six hours of table tennis, all three boys were showing signs of fatigue. Alex managed to keep it together for his last match and won 3-2 to pick up a consolation point.

Pictures of the result sheets can be found below.

The boys have been a pleassure to coach, and special menton should also go to Gabriela Koszyk who volunteered to umpire throughout the day.

On Sunday 21st November, the cadet team of Ben Aldridge, Adam Koszyk and Shivam Gopal represented Westfield TTC in the National Cadet League at the Sycamore Club in Nottigham. Each player contested 2 games per match.

They started off their campaign against Nottigham with a well-earned 6-0 win. The next match against Peterborough Archway B was a tougher affair which they pulled back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3, with the players sharing the honours, winning one game each. Their third match was against West Bridgeford which they won 4-2 with Shvan winning 2, and Ben and Adam winning 1 apiece. Peterborough Archway C was their final opponent; this was another hard fought match resulting in a 3-all draw, again all players were victorious once.

Well done to Ben, Adam and Shivam!

The succesful first day left us second in the table agaisnt runaway leaders Peterborough Archway A who we will play on the second of the 4 day ocompetition in December.

Congratulations go to Ben Aldridge and Adam Koszyk on becoming County Cadet champion and runner-up (respectively). Ben and Adam both won their respective groups, then semi-finals to face eachother in the final. Adam started well, winning the first game, but a change of tactic from Ben saw him win the next three ends to win the match and lift the trophy.

With restrictions easing from next Monday (19th July), there will be no requirement to book into bubbles, so instead of booking a table, you just book yourself in to attend a session. There will be 30 slots available, which means the table tennis hall will be limited to 30 players and a maximum of 14 tables. Booking a slot is on a 'first come, first served' basis. You will also be able to turn up on the night and pay the Duty Manager (as we now have a card reader for contactless transactions), but please note that 30 is our absolute limit. If you arrive without having booked in and the session is full, you will not be able to play.

We also ask that face masks are worn when entering/leaving the venue, and when not playing. This is Club policy.
 
For reference, the Club will be open on the following dates.
 
Monday 19th July
Adults 7.30pm - 9.45pm
 
Thursdays (Jul 22, 29, Aug 5, 12, 19, 26, Sept 2)
Juniors 6.00pm - 7.30pm. Adults 7.30pm - 9.45pm
 
League Play
Hopefully your team captain has been in touch to ask about your availability for league table tennis. If they haven't, then please chase them up, or contact me (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) if you wish to be considered for a league team. I will need to know by Sunday 25th July
The Leisure Centre have now advised that they are unable to open on Bank Holiday Monday (31st May). This session has been moved to the following day (Tuesday, 1st June).
There are four tables available to book, but please note when doing so, the booking system will still show as Monday.
Any questions, please add a comment and we'll respond as soon as we can.
Many thanks.
