North Devon Table Tennis League round-up (Week One)

HOLSWORTHY D got off to a dream start in Division One of the North Devon Table Tennis League last week (Monday, September 30) with a crushing 9-1 victory at Chulmleigh A.

Last year’s Division Two champions travelled to the Chulmleigh Sports Centre hoping to make sure they competed and earn a few points.

However the trio of Ashley Taylor, David Sillifant and Ian Rice proved too strong for the home players, with only Rice dropping a match.

Elsewhere, the clash between Holsworthy A and newly-formed Bridgerule at Sutcombe Village Hall was postponed due to an accident outside of the hall.

Holsworthy C got their season off to a slow start with a 6-4 defeat at Despicables at Instow Parish Hall.

Veteran Bob Montague showed he still has all the shots in winning two while Sumiyo Berkeley also got in the act.

They then combined in the doubles to ensure they took four points.

Holsworthy B’s home game with West Buckland was rearranged.
