With Ben Aldridge unavailable, Bart Koszyk stepped up for Westfield for the last day of National Junior League. His team mates were Adam Koszyk, Tor West-Ley and Gabriela Koszyk.

Playing in the top division, and against much older opposition (this is the Under 19 category), we played some really good table tennis. We ultimately finished fith in the division, but I saw lots of improvement throughout the season, and look forward to managing this team next season.

Onwards and upwards!

Our cadet team of Prithvi Menon, Adam Koszyk, Tor West – Ley and Bartoz Koszkz started the final day of the National Cadet League at the The Hindu Centre, Wellingborough in second place behind Archway and with a slender lead of 3 points over Luton A  - so all to play for.
They started off their day against Knighton Park with Prithvi and Adam remaining unbeaten and Bart winning 1 game.
Next up was Woodford Wells who were also dispatched, this time with Prithvi and Tor gaining maximum points and Adam securing 1 point.
The most crucial match of the day against Luton A who had strengthened their team since our last meeting with the addition of Violet-Lily Marquise, one of the top young players in the country. Prithiv’s game was very close with Violet finally securing the victory 16-14 in the 5th end. The match finished 3-3 with Prithvi, Adam and Tor all taking one game.
Our penultimate match of the day was against Notts 3 who we comfortably beat 5-1 with Prithvi and Adam again keeping clean sheets and Bart contributing a valuable 1 point.
The final match against the runaway leaders, Archway, proved a step too far; we could not match the previous weekend’s 3-3 draw and were beaten 6-0 despite some close encounters.
 
The overall result was a very well-earned silver medal– well done to all the players!!

It is my sad duty to report the death of Yan Ng. Yan died on Friday 3rd November, having lost his fight with an aggressive brain tumour.

Yan had been a member of Westfield Table Tennis Club for many years. He played for Westfield D in the second division of the Wellingborough League and was also a regular attendee of the Thursday night practise session. He was always happy when playing and always wanted to improve his game.

Myself and Yan's team mates attended his funeral earlier today. The service was a fitting tribute to a lovely person. 

The family have setup a Just Giving page, with all donations going to Action Cancer Research.

The Club will miss you. Rest in peace.

On Sunday 19th March, Westfield juniors travelled to Milton Keynes Table Tennis Club, to play Day 4 of NJL.

With Adam, Gabi, Ben and Lucas all respresenting Northamptonshire Juniors in Nottingham, Kettering Smash's Prithvi Menon and Liam Constable stepped in for their NJL debuts. With only 2 points separating the top three teams (Westfield in the middle), the Division 2 title was in the balance.

Our first math was against Banbury, who were top of the division and had the undefeated Toby Dow at number 1. Prithvi was first up for Westfield but he found the awkward serve and powerful forehand of Toby too hot to handle, and succumbed to a 3-1 defeat. Liam was next up, but he couldn't find any consistency early on, and also slipped to a 3-1 defeat. Tor had a great match against the Banbury number 3, and was unlucky to go down 3-2. Prithvi pulled one back to reduce the deficit, but Toby made short work of Tor to restore Banbury's 3 point advantage. We then staged a fight-back. Liam battled hard to win 11-9 in the fifth end against George Fyfe. Tor played as well as I've ever seen, to secure a 3-0 win over the Banbury number 2, and Prithvi made it a brace of wins with another comfortable 3-0 win. This left the match in the balane at 4-4. So it was Liam against Toby for the match, but Toby was in top form and raced to a 3-0 win, thus securing the match for Banbury.

Buoyed by their fighback, the boys went into the second match against CGS knowing that a good result would help take the pressure of the last fixture. And what a result! All three boys played well and we came away with an 8-1 win, the only reverse suffered by Tor at the hands of the CGS number 1, but that match could also have gone our way. On the other table, Banbury were also in no mood for mercy, and beat Highfield A by the same scoreline.

Going into our last match against local rivals Highfield A, we knew that we only needed 3 points to secure runners-up spot. Prithvi was the stand-out performer, cruising to a hat-trick without dropping a leg. Liam had a real battle in all his matches, winning one of his games 3-1, but lost 11-8 in the fifth to both Hubert and Rushabh. Tor was also on the wrong end of two five-set defeats, but can count himsef very unlucky to lose 11-9 to Rushabh. But 4 points was good enough to secure runners-up spot in division 2, and the medals were well-deserved.

Many thanks to Milton Keynes Table Tennis Club for hosting, and to the parents of Prithvi, Liam and Tor, who all atteneded and supported their child.

On Sunday 12 th March, the cadet team of Prithvi Menon, Adam Koszyk and Tor West-Ley
represented Westfield TTC in the final round of the National Cadet League at the
Birmingham Table Tennis Centre. Having gained promotion over the first two rounds to the
top division, there was greater challenge.
They started off their day against Colebridge A; although a 6-0 loss, most of the games were
close.
Next up was Colebridge B, which proved a tighter affair, finishing with a 4-2 loss. Prithvi
and Tor won one a piece and three games went to fifth end deciders – so close!
Knighton Park was the next opponent, and this provided the first success of the day with a 4-
2 win. Two wins each for Adam and Prithvi and two very close games for Tor gave the team
a good boost.
Our penultimate match of the day was against Birmingham 1 with Prithvi taking the only win
resulting in a 5-1 loss. Again, all games were hard fought and proved the determined spirit of
our team. We finished the day on a well-earned high with a 4-2 win against Birmingham 2.
All the players have improved immensely over this season and, on another day, the results
could easily have gone our way. It was a pleasure to coach the players over this season.
Thanks, again, to their families for their help with transport and support.
