AT THE TABLE Kent And Boettcher Triumph In Season Warm-Up

Tuesday morning Mackay Table Tennis players warmed up for another season of fixtures with a doubles tournament.
Janice Kent carried all before her to win the first division with 151 points, Don Boettcher winning division 2 with 155 points.
The tournament was first to 31, five matches with partners swapping randomly and was strongly competed by a good turnout of players, who especially enjoyed the ‘bring a plate’ spread at the end of play.
A new season of fixtures is starting, and if you haven’t nominated or would like to join, contact Steve Mathieson ASAP on 0418 700 236.
Last season’s division one was won by Hawks (George Camilleri, Pam Joyce and John McGee) with Janice Kent leading player, losing only one match all season.
Division two went to Magpies (Ken Best, John Hamelink and Kim Daffy) with Veronica Shepherd leading player.
Lobster (Cheryl Pearson, Bill Hey and Nadine Stream won division 3, Pam Keune leading player.
