Wisbech Wizards continued their push for the title at the Wisbech Table Tennis League’s latest meeting.
Wisbech Wizards continued their push for the title at the Wisbech Table Tennis League's latest meeting.
The team of Brett Heppenstall, Dale Parnell and Alan Ashberry were too strong in their whitewash victory over a Batmen side of Mark Littlechild, Vaughan Parker and Bob Littlechild. Whatever the Batmen tried, it was futile in avoiding the whitewash.
A Stingers team of Craig Pack, Chris Gay and Paul Reed were against a Scorpions side of Steve Barrett, Chris Ely and Jeff Chung.
Pack had little trouble with gaining his maximum and after a five ender of Gay against Chung, Gay winning 11-4 he got his maximum.
The only point for Scorpions came from a five ender by Barrett beating Reed 11-4, 13-15, 8-11, 11-6, 15-13.
Pack and Gay finished off the match with a doubles win in four against Barrett and Ely.

The Wisbech Spartans team of Keith Phillips, David Hughes and Graham Sheppard were against a Wanderers side of John Palmer, Steve Kent and guest player Kevin Buck who returned from injury.
Phillips had no problems with his maximum, with points for the Wanderers coming from Palmer after beating Hughes in three and Sheppard in four, 5-11, 11-6, 11-8, 17-15.
