Ward & Stobbart sit top of the Premier division having played more games than anyone else but the serious early contenders are Ramsbottom A & Burnley Boys Club unbeaten after 4 games and Clitheroe LMC A as well as Hyndburn TTC A unbeaten after 3 games. Michael Moir for Hyndburn TTC A has started as he means to go on and sits top of the individual merit table. Table Tennis is a genuinely gender inclusive sport in which men and women play in the same league and it is good to see Mandy Winskill from Ramsbottom A up there in the top four merit table.
Old Masters lead the table in Division One but again it is HSC and KSB A with 100% records so far that are likely to challenging for promotion. Matt Hirst from KSB A will take some toppling and is already top of the Div one merit table.
KSB D are top of the table in Division two but as in the other divisions due to more games played than two other teams yet unbeaten. Whalley Hawks have played two and won two and this young team look like they will make a promotion challenge when they get more games in. Looking very impressive though, and my early tip to win the division is Hyndburn TTC D, another young team with Ben Farrer and Charlie McGrath both playing superbly and heading up the individual merit tables.
Doals Marauders having won 4 out of 5 are doing well and are top of Division Three, but of all the divisions the third looks the most open as perhaps any two from 6 teams could still emerge as the front runners. Hyndburn TTC E, another team of young people have started well and look promising, and KSB E as well as Whalley Phoenix are yet unbeaten. Richard Staines for Hyndburn TTC E is a young man vastly improved and hasn’t lost a game yet and is leading the merit table with an impressive 93%.
