The Thursday night Table Tennis Club has closed up for the summer following the AGM on Thur 14th May.
Towards the end of the season the club was going through a very strong patch with numbers attending up considerably. In fact there have been up to 18 players in the club towards the end of the season which created a great buzz in the hall. All standards are catered for and new members will be welcome to join come the new season in September 2009.
In 2008/2009 season St Maelruain’s had two teams in the UCTTL, one played Div. 1 and the second team played Div 2. Congratulation to the first team (Anthony Iyere, David Gibbons and Sharon Gibbons) on finishing 2nd in Div. 1 and runners up to York Road. Both teams got to the finals of their respective Cup competitions and our first team won the Cup in Div. 1.
Unfortunately our second team (Bobby Wilson, Claire Burke and David Gould) could not all attend on the finals due to other commitments (Australia in the case of a Gould!) so they had to withdraw from the competition.
Before the club closed for the summer, we ran off the club tournaments forthe Ernie May Trophy and for the Shield. Winners were David Gibbons (who beat Sharon Gibbons in the final) & Brian Gibney who beat Tommy Dunne for the Shield. Well done to both David &Brian. Andrew Seymour – Hon. Sec.
