By on Aug 07, 2013 with Comments 0

Spinners Clinch Tight A Team Match, but Ashford Win B & C Team Matches Convincingly.

Horsham Spinners TTC’s fourth friendly match for 2013 was a home match and took place on Saturday 13th July. The opposition teams came from Ashford TTC, this being the third friendly match in two seasons against Ashford. The home club had an impressive 17 players this time split into an A team of five, a B team of five and a C team of six. The away club provided three teams of four players. Six tables were used.

A Team Report: Arnold Earns His Team The Win.

James Arnold of Horsham Spinners was the player to stand in the A team match with a full house of wins. He only conceded one game, which was against Ben Fereday, who on the day switched between playing with long pimples and reverse rubbers, as well as between shake-hands and penhold grips. Two other Spinners players won three out of their four matches. They were David Poole & Scott Covey. They both won 3-2 vs Hudson Foley, with Covey’s match particularly close at 11-9 in the fifth. They also both beat Fereday (Poole by 14-12 in the fifth), but had differing results vs James Roper & Matthew Hazell. Poole beat Hazell 3-0 and lost 3-0 to Roper, whereas Covey beat Roper 3-2 (13-11 in the decider), but lost to Hazell 3-2 (11-9 in the decider). The remaining three Spinners players, Joe Worskett, William Michell and Kyo Kaneko, all won 1/4. Michell beat Roper, Worskett beat Hazell and Kaneko beat Fereday. Worskett was unlucky vs Fereday, losing 11-9 in the fifth. For Ashford all four players were very even in standard, with Foley, Roper and Hazell all picking up 3/6 wins and Fereday 2/6. The final score could not have been closer without it being a draw, as Spinners clinched a 13-11 win.

C Team Report: O’Higgins Overhauls Opponents.

The C team match was very one sided, with the lack of experience of the Horsham Spinners players showing. Matthew Weller and Thomas Edevane from Spinners both beat Estelle Kelly 3-2 (11-8 in the fifth) and 3-0 respectively, but these were the only wins that Horsham Spinners C picked up. Weller and Ollie Thorne both lost 3-2 to star of the day, Lochlann O’Higgins, who won all six of his matches, despite having to play in a wheelchair, due to having brittle bones. Both of these wins were 11-9 in the fifth to Lochlann, which shows he is good under pressure. Aaron Heavens, Markus Kullerkupp and Max Mildren were slightly off the pace, but competed well and Mildren managed to get a game off O’Higgins. Aside from O’Higgins maximum, Rebecca Wicking and Nikit Sajiv were also undefeated and Estelle won 4/6. The final team score was 22-2 to Ashford.

Adding up the totals of all three of the team matches gives an overwhelming overall win of 48-18 to Ashford.
