The feedback has been incredible from the email sent out earlier regarding what really could have credible, realtime, potential. I have spoken to a representative of the Ashford & District Table Tennis League and he explained their thinking and the solution they have come up with is really clever, i...

Colchester Table Tennis Legend Rik James will be competing at next weekends English National Veterans over 50’s and 60’s competition at Aldersley Leisure Village in Wolverhampton.

The nine times Colchester Men’s Champion has enjoyed somewhat of a renaissance this season leading the Essex County 60+ team in the Premier Division. Rik, who will be competing against a strong field of of eighty-nine players, says;

“It’s amazing to think that I’m back in the England Rankings and competing at the highest level nationally against the best players in the UK, 35 years after first competing as a Senior Man!
As Chair of the Colchester & District Table Tennis League and a Table Tennis Coach I have not been playing much competitive table tennis since Covid, but back representing Essex in the Country Championships and Colchester in British Club Leagues this season has revitalised my love of the sport that has been a big part of my life since I was 10."

Ranked no. 10 in England, this will be the ultimate test for Rik whose ‘back from the table’ style has entertained for many years has a tough draw with England no. 5 Brian Jeanes, the Welsh Number 1, is the seed in his group. James however, has the bragging rights having beaten Jeanes 11-9 in the fifth set recently when competing for Essex against Worcestershire.

3 BIG FINALS tonight at Rowhedge TTC;

KO Cup Div 1 Gt Horkesley A Pegasus A
KO Cup Div 2 Lawford C v Tollgate D
Handicap Cup Rowhedge C v Tollesbury A

First & second in the Division should be a close match Horkesley edged the League matches but if both are at full strength with the extra doubles format it’s very difficult to predict the result!
Pegasus likely; Ian Whiteside Mark Glenister Steve Pennell
Horkesley likely; Karl Baldwin Ken Lewis Richard Fifield

Once again the top 2 teams have made it to the Divisional final where Lawford’s no 1 Rohan Richardson-Todd only lost 2 games all season both to Tollgate players one of which Chris Gibbons is absent this evening. Jason Lloyd was the man to beat him, just 11-9 in the final end! Another Tollgate player, the unbeaten Martyn Green is missing due to injury so this could be another nail-biter with the Lawford team all using pipps!
Lawford likely; Richardson-Todd, Alex Dunne, Trevor Elmy
Tollgate actual; Lloyd, Kris Madar, Savindu deSilva

In the Handicap final Div 1’s Tollesbury A take on the Premier Div’s Rowhedge C

Highlight of the evening could see the return of Lewis Bardell up against Rik James who coached him many years ago! James almost unbeatable over the years may just meet his match in this one!
Prediction 5-4 but to who???
Tollesbury from; Tom Lewis, Rob King, Bardell Martin Lewis
Rowhedge actual; James Tom Hinds Luke Burridge

Spectators welcome matched start at 7:30pm..
