However, it was Writtle B who came out on top 5-0, a scoreline few people would have predicted. Mathew Brown gave Writtle an important 2-0 lead by beating Chris Buer (6-11, 11-6, 11-8, 11-9) and Paul Sturton made it 3-0 by beating Gus Heath (18-16, 11-6, 11-3). There was no way back for Danbury after Trevor Collin had beaten John Tendler (11-4, 14-12, 9-11, 11-8). Galleywood (a combined Galleywood A and B trio of James Hicks, Gary Copsey and Mark Glenister) are safely through to the next round. They beat Chelmsford 7-1. The odd-looking (11-4, 4-11, 11-4, 8-11, 11-9) win for Gary Copsey against Nikita Tkachuk stood out here. Writtle C impressed by beating OCA C 5-1. John Webber sealed the Writtle victory but he was made to work hard by Mick Hayes before he triumphed (11-5, 8-11, 11-4, 11-9). Danbury D, currently second in division two produced a workmanlike display to beat Chelmsford F 6-2. Sam Phillips had to pull out all the stops to get the better of Waseem Qureshi (8-11, 6-11, 11-4, 11-6, 11-9).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Danbury F, who didn\u2019t make an impact in the division two knock out cup made no mistake in the division three competition. They raced to an 8-1 win over Danbury H. Chris Buer and Steve Buer were both undefeated although Dave Meah scored a fine (11-9, 5-11, 11-2, 11-4) win over John Tendler for the losers. Writtle D were 6-1 winners over Chelmsford H. Dave Carter sealed his side\u2019s victory by beating Felix Reeve (11-8, 7-11, 11-4, 8-11, 11-9). Danbury G ran out 5-0 winners against Chelmsford G, a slightly flattering result as Chelmsford lost four matches in the fifth end. The fast improving Alesha Ellis-Austin came close to scoring a real upset before succumbing to Ken Sheard (9-11, 7-11, 11-5, 11-9, 7-11). &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Highwood teams were beaten in the division four knock out cup. OCA (Farooq Ahmed, Dave Bishop and Russell Hall) ran out 5-1 winners over Highwood B. Farooq Ahmed beat Nicola Pippen (14-12, 11-8, 13-15, 6-11, 14-12) in what looked to be the pick of the night\u2019s action. Danbury L beat Highwood A 5-0. Dave Powell, Rob Kneale and Dave Goody gave nothing away. Dave Goody came out on top against Keith Fitz-John in five ends (5-11, 11-6, 10-12. 12-10, 11-8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chelmsford J (Peter Davenport, Jacqui Smith and Paul Bullock) beat Writtle F 6-3 in the division five knock out cup. &nbsp;Ron Tam made his mark for Writtle by beating Jacqui Smith (11-9, 11-6, 11-7). &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was honours shared in division one between Danbury B and Danbury C. Trevor Lloyd scored a fine hat-trick for the C side beating Dan Piggott (14-12, 11-4, 11-7), Dan Anderson (11-7, 11-7, 7-11, 11-8) and Sam Lowman (9-11, 11-5, 9-11, 11-8, 11-3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Galleywood A returned to the top spot in division two by beating Maldon A 7-3. James Hicks (90 %) and Peter Barrett (78 %) were both undefeated. James Hicks got the better of Lloyd Bennett-Smith (11-5, 11-2, 11-5), Hamish Innes (11-2, 11-8, 11-5) and Colin Napper (11-6, 8-11, 11-4, 10-12, 11-5). He\u2019s clearly having a very good Season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buttsbury Bats ran out 4-1 winners against Danbury Griffins in division 1B of the Junior League. Thomas Lewis was unbeaten for Buttsbury seeing off Oscar Wyman (11-9, 11-8, 11-5) and Ollie Ware (11-5, 11-13, 3-11, 11-7, 11-4). &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Kerns Press Officer Chelmsford &amp; District Table Tennis League<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-0 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><\/ul><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew Brown\u2019s excellent win leads the way as Writtle B beat Danbury F &nbsp; The division two knock out cup clash between division three leaders Danbury F and division two\u2019s Writtle B looked to be a match to savour.
