Alburgh Takes The Titles
Posted
Last Friday, yet again, Denton's Annual Table Tennis Tournament produced "foreign" winners.
Once again there were Alburgh raiders as Maureen Coe triumphed over Janet Howman in the Ladies’ Open competition which had nine entrants; Doris Lambert pipped Anne Carden for the third place. The Men’s Open was won by Bernard Coe who defeated previous winner David Kemp to provide equal bragging rights in the Coe household. From a field of ten players, Nathaniel clinched third spot with his defeat of Terry Hanner.
After this latest event one previous winner expressed a concern that table tennis was becoming something of a lost art. Alternative attractions and a lack of publicity might explain why so few juniors attended the evening. Perhaps an extended Village Hall may allow for a table to be available on Friday evenings and encourage an increase in numbers of young and older players alike?
