IDTTL 22/23 Handicap Shield!. Apr 2023

Held at the Britannia Dome the final of the Ipswich and District Table Tennis Leagues Handicap Shield was an exciting battle between the finalists: Pickwicks ‘C’ (the current holders) and Wherstead Tornadoes. The 2 teams battled hard with the lead changing constantly throughout the match, and there was never more than a few points difference throughout.The Pickwicks ‘C’ team of Johnny Clougherty, Mark Beaumont and Ray Perry started strongly only for the Wherstead Tornadoes team of Ashley Philips, Martin Chamberlain and Nicholas Anthony to square the match, who then took a slender lead, only for the Pickwicks team to come back, and after the first series of 9 singles games the score was 176-170 in Pickwicks favour.Wherstead cut this deficit during the 3 doubles games and at that stage the tie was evenly balanced again at 234-234. This ding dong battle continued during the second round of 9 singles games, with excellent table tennis played by all competitors, and with the last 3 games to play Wherstead held a 3 point lead. Pickwicks ‘C’ held their nerve and managed to overcome this to take the title again with the score finishing at 405-401, a very close finish indeed.Congratulations to the Pickwicks ‘C’ team and commiserations to the Wherstead Tornadoes team with all competitors making this a memorable final, the closest finish for many years. Below are the winners: Pickwicks ‘C’ team with their Team Manager; Mike Chenery.
