Report of County Premier Division – Cadets
Over the weekend of Saturday 20th / Sunday
21st February four young Leamington League players,
Matthew Outhwaite (Rugby), Jessie Kendrick-Hill (Rugby),
Luke Spencer (Free Church) and Holly Thompson
(Eathorpe) joined with Jack Styringe (Birmingham) to
represent Warwickshire in the highest level of their age
group of the County championship, the Premier Cadet
division. The daunting prospect of facing the three top
English counties, Middlesex, Surrey and Sussex all boasting
highly ranked players plus the top Welsh team, Glamorgan,
was made even harder because the county were not able to
field a number 2 girl meaning we would concede 2 games in
every match played. For the first time, three counties
would be relegated.
Saturday started well with victory against
the weakest team, South Yorkshire but three expected defeats
against title contenders Middlesex, Surrey and Sussex left
the team in seventh place after the first day. Sunday
started with the news that South Yorkshire had dropped out
and their matches, including our win, were void. The team
faced a do-or-die situation, they must beat Cheshire and
Nottinghamshire conceding two games to both. Nothing less
than a complete team performance with everyone playing their
part was needed.
One by one our young players stepped up to
the table knowing they must win, often against stronger
opposition, and match after match they raised their game to
edge home. First Cheshire and then Nottinghamshire were
overcome and barring freak results the county had managed to
survive. Every player had committed themselves both
physically and emotionally. The final match against
Glamorgan was played in a blurr of total exhaustion.
The final table showing Warwickshire as
fifth and still in the premier division is just a statistic.
The quality and determination of their performance against
all th odds will be long remembered with pride.

Cadets keep their Premier Place
Warwickshire's cadet team has retained its place in the
County Championship Premier Division.
Last season the cadets achieved their best ever position
finishing as premiership runners up. But this year most of
that team passed out of the age group and there were serious
worries that the new young team would finish in one of the
two relegation places.
But we need not have worried! In a very determined effort
the team won 33 of its 70 individual matches and finished
5th out of the 8 teams ahead of Nottingham, Yorkshire and
Buckingham with 2 team wins a draw and 4 losses.
01.03.2009 A
Warwickshire School has made it through to the last four in
the English Schools competition for the first time in over
twenty years!
The Lawrence Sheriff School Under 16 Table Tennis team was
in action again this weekend at Cheltenham where they
competed against three other teams for a place in the
National Finals. Their first match of the day went well,
beating Portchester College from Bournemouth 8 - 0.
Their second match was tougher but the boys rose to the
challenge and Ben Meakin came back from 2 sets down to win
his second match, while Jesse Kendrick Hill even managed to
defend match points against him in one of his matches, to
secure another 8 - 0 win. The final contest of the day
was always going to be a hard fought battle against Peniel
Academy from Essex, last years' National Champions. Matthew
Outhwaite made light work of their no 2 player to get the
Lawrence Sheriff team off to a strong start, before their
talented no 1 player beat Jack Randle to make it 1 all.
Jesse and Ben then beat the opposing no 3 and 4 players to
take the score to 3 - 1. Matthew played some stunning table
tennis against their no 1 but, although he took it to 5 sets
finally lost before Jack Randle managed to beat the no 3 in
another close 5 set match making it 4-2. The remaining two
matches went to Peniel meaning a set countback to decide the
4 all draw. Even this could not separate the teams so it had
to be points, which Lawrence Sheriff won 284 to 282!
The team is now through to the National Finals to be held at
Hinckley on 28th March, making Lawrence Sheriff one of the
top four under 16 teams in the country. There they will
compete against teams from Middlesex, Merseyside and
Derbyshire in what will be an excellent contest of table
tennis.

Seniors narrowly being relegated form division 1A. The
Seniors were relegated from division 1A of the Senior County
championships. The table doesn’t show how near the team were
to holding onto division 1 status. They were frustratingly
close; losing 14 of their 18 games in the fifth end - and it
went to deuce in four of those (three for Ian Ferguson and
one for Mark Jackson). The standard was very high with
England’s number one Paul Drinkall playing for Cleveland who
gained promotion to the Premier division.
24.11.2008 Warwickshire
Juniors are top off the division 2C table after day one having
beaten Essex 3rds 8-2, Berkshire 7-3, Oxford 9-1 and
Northamptonshire 6-4. Matt Outhwaite won 6 out of 6, Alan Caffrey won 5 out of 6, Jack Williamson won 4 out of 4, Jack
Randle won 5 out of 8, Charlotte Spencer won 7 out of 8 and
Jessica Birbeck won 8 out 8. They will hope to repeat this
and move straight back up to division 1 at the first
attempt.

Draft WTTA Rules for approval. This is a revised version
since the last Committee meeting. It has a slightly larger
font and two typos have been removed.
10.05.2008
No nominations were received from leagues or clubs for the
post of General Secretary following the resignation of Alan
Healey in April. Whilst this is disappointing, it is an
unusual time of year for an election and leagues and clubs
may not have had adequate time to consider the position.
Caroline Williams agreed to take on the post until the AGM
at the end of June when it is hoped a nomination will be
forthcoming.
14.04.2008
Alan Healey has retired as General Secretary of the
Association. The Chairman - Estyn Williams - has rung Alan
personally to thank him for all his hard work over the
years. In accordance with the rules, the casual vacancy will
be filled by the Executive Committee at its next meeting on
8 May. The Chairman has asked leagues to discuss who they
consider would be suitable for this important post and
willing to undertake it. If you have any views on this
please let your league representative (or the Chairman -
Estyn Williams) know.
08.03.2008
Link
to the WTTA new draft rules for your information and, if
appropriate, comment. These rules were produced by a sub
committee. In January the Executive Committee agreed
certain amendments. it approved the draft subject to these
and asked that it should be shown to ETTA (who will
eventually have to approve them) for their comments.
The draft was shown to Mike Smith who is the member of ETTA
rules committee responsible for this. He suggested
some minor changes but said he would be prepared to approve
them subject to seeing them when they had been approved by
the AGM. The draft will go back to the executive
Committee in May and subject to their approval be submitted
to the AGM in June.

County Cadets are National Runners Up -
report on etta site
Warwickshire Cadets Premiership Runners Up
Warwickshire Cadets have taken the runners up spot in the
Premier Division of the English County Championships, the
highest position ever achieved by the county's Cadets.
Going into the final round of matches any one of three
counties could have finished second, with Warwickshire,
South Yorkshire and Sussex all in with a realistic chance,
and it was in the very last set of the weekend that Matthew
Outhwaite of Warwickshire scored a thrilling five game
victory over South Yorkshire’s Scott Hollowood, thus giving
Warwickshire a vital point and the crucial runners-up spot.
This superb effort by our young team Jack Williamson and
Sanikar Karandikar (Birmingham) Jack Randle and Mathew
Outhwaite (Rugby) and Charlotte Spencer (Leamington) should
ensure that the future of table tennis in Warwickshire is in
safe hands.
