Tuesday Morning Fixtures – Round 6 Wrap-Up
Round 6 gave us close team results, five-game survival missions, and a few matches that clearly decided “quick and simple” was not on the menu.
Division 1
Division 1 delivered two tight 7–5 results, with Astro Aces edging Orion Orbiters, and Eclipse Spin getting past Nova Smashers.
Match of the Division contender:
George Camilleri d. Andrea Nicholson (-9, 5, -9, 11, 13)
George had to come from behind twice, survive a fourth-game arm wrestle, then sneak home 15–13 in the fifth. That is less a table tennis match and more a stress test with bats.
Also worth a spotlight:
Branko Vucurovic d. Doug Dungavell (-5, 8, -6, 9, 9)
Branko dropped the first and third games, then dug in to pinch the last two. A proper “I’m not finished yet” performance.

Division 2
Spartan Spin powered to a 10–2 win over Ninja Strikes, while Viking Raiders claimed a hard-fought 7–5 win over Samurai Swords.
Five-game grit:
Helen Ware d. Chris Collins (12, 6, -9, -7, 10)
Helen looked in control after taking the first two, Chris stormed back to force a decider, and Helen finally closed it out 12–10 in the fifth. Nobody was leaving early on that one.
Comeback alert:
Louise Gould d. Robyn Bushell (-8, -7, 7, 7, 8)
Two games down? No problem. Louise flipped the match completely and won the next three. Somewhere after Game 2, she clearly found the “restart match” button.

Division 3
Aztec Warriors continued their strong form with a 9–3 win over Mongol Power, while Gladiator Grip and Celtic Smash fought out a dramatic 6–6 draw.
Doubles chaos of the round:
Kim Challender / Glenda Brookes d. Gerry Synnott / Thelma Caruana (14, -20, 6, -10, 8)
Yes, that second game really did go to 22–20. Then the match still went five. At some point, this stopped being doubles and became a negotiation.
Refusing to keep it simple:
Allison Day d. Trish Zamparutti (-13, 9, 4, -9, 7)
A first game that went deep, momentum swings everywhere, and a fifth-game finish. Allison eventually got there, but Trish certainly made her pay full price.
Congratulations to all players — especially those who turned Tuesday morning into a full sporting drama series.
