Noosa Table Tennis Club
2014 Summer Singles and doubles championships
With the qualifying rounds now complete the club now has its top six in each grade finalised for the singles showdown.
The doubles champs can now be announced and it is not surprising that after a very close season the winners were not high in predictions pre-tournament.
A Grade: 1. Kye McDonald (undefeated), 2. Roger Gore, 3. Bill Brown, 4. Heinz Schwartz, 5. Jordan Brown, 6. Bruce Blakemore.
Kye is odds on but there have been some close ones recently and we should witness some of the highest quality table tennis on finals night.
Doubles winner Jordan Brown.
B Grade: 1. Steve Gardner, 2. John Murphy, 3. Col Barry, 4. Oscar Estraviz, 5. Eli Kalugin, 6. Bernhard Trauer.
Steve has had a blinder this season but watch out for fast improving Col and Oscar.
Jonas Campbell, unfortunately, missed out by the smallest of margins and also a surprise omission is Martyn Clarke. They have both been serious contenders in past years.
Doubles winner: John Murphy.
C Grade: 1. Lucas Gore, 2. Brad Muller, 3. Matthew Duncan, 4. Sunny Lidden, 5. Richard Byrne, 6. Wendy Byrne.
Can’t pick this one but Brad in full flight is very difficult but both young guns Lucas and Sunny will be in the thick of it.
It is a shame that qualifier Jed Mikkelson will miss the finals as his game has developed quickly of late.
Doubles winner: Richard Byrne.
The club is moving to the Leisure Centre, Wallace Estate, next year after 21 years at the Bicentennial Hall.
It will continue to hold competition Wednesday nights and social play three afternoons a week.
The practise session will now be on Sunday afternoons.
