Premier Division Match Report Meopham A V Dartfordians A

The top 2 in the Premier Division met on 8 December at Meopham for what was set to be a cracking match.

Both teams were virtually at full strength. Meopham A fielded a very strong team,  welcoming back Alastair McTavish from Telford, John Boreham and Brian Lees. Dartfordians A fielded Peter Davis, George Dianin and Ian Martin.

There were some very good quality matches. McTavish was too strong on the night and won his 3 fairly comfortably, Boreham also won his 3 but was taken to deuce in the 5th by Ian Martin who proved an awkward opponent and caused problems all night for Meopham.

Lees played very well to beat Dianin in straight games but then found it too challenging to go from playing the spin game of Dianin to the dead bat game of Martin and lost quite easily. Lees then had a good tussle with Davis, they both know each others games well from other leagues and on this occasion Davis proved too strong in 4. With the doubles going to Meopham the final score was a terrific 8 - 2 win for Meopham A who have built up a reasonable lead at the half way point of the season but with several challenging matches to come the title remains all to be played for.

Question

When  was the last time that George Dianin lost all 3 matches in the Gravesend League (or any league?).

  • Forum - Want to talk with others about table tennis or anything else? Advertise for players, sell unwanted equipment or talk about anything else you want!
  • Team and Player Statistics - More detailed information on teams and players, player comparisons and previous match scores
  • Rating System - not only individual player percentages but also a player rating system based on the ELO rating system
  • Online score submission - Just log in, select who played, enter the scores and the website will automatically update all the league tables and player statistics!

Unfortunately this will take time to get it all up and running, but I'll keep you all informed as and when new features are added!

Helpers Wanted!

We Need Your Help!

Want to be part of the website? We need help both with the forum and with league updates.

The forum needs moderators - all you need to do is spend a few minutes every week or so looking through the forum! If you find anything that is against our posting rules you will have the power to modify or remove the post, issue warnings and even ban people after multiple offenses! With great power comes great responsibility!

We are also looking for people to help write short progress reports on the matches that have taken place within your division on a bi-weekly/monthly basis. The idea is that you would know the teams and players well enough (better than me at least!) to know what is a good win by any player or team. You would only need to write a few paragraphs on who's played who and the results, including any outstanding team or individual wins.

If you are interested in helping, please contact me either by writing a comment below or by sending me a private message!
