The new-look Netts A team \u2013 a mix of last year\u2019s A and B teams \u2013 have wasted no time in establishing their credentials in the Braintree Table Tennis League. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
They followed their first-week 8-2 win with another by the same score when they faced Black Notley B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Andy Holmes and James Hicks were unbeaten while Notley\u2019s former men\u2019s singles champion Steve Kerns \u2013 out of action for some time before and after a hip operation \u2013 got his comeback under way with a win over Joe Meleschko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sudbury Nomads, expected to be in the mix at the end of the season, got off to a solid start with a 7-3 win over Liberal B, where Richard Fifield, who joined the club halfway through last season, outscored Nomads regulars Karl Baldwin and Ken Lewis, who both lost to David Razzell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rayne A, effectively last year\u2019s B team, introduced newcomer Pandus Ademakinwa, who won two singles in their draw with Notley A. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Steve Pennell also notched up two, including a win over last season\u2019s men\u2019s singles finalist Luke Burridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
James Mullane started his season with an unbeaten evening in Liberal A\u2019s draw with Sudbury Wanderers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rayne C lead division two after a 9-1 win over their own E team took their points tally to 17 out of 20. Matthew Brown and Paul Wellington were unbeaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Netts D, who had started the season with a 10-0 win, could not repeat the dose against Notley D, who beat them 6-4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matt Stephenson was unbeaten, unusually outscoring Graham Chinnery, who won twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Equally unusual was the appearance of Ken Lewis back in division two where his three wins helped Sudbury Strollers to a 6-4 win over Yeldham Whitlocks A. New signing John Colvin added two more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Charles Calisin\u2019s three singles led Netts C to a 6-4 win over Rayne D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finchingfield B lead division three after two big wins. They went one better than last week\u2019s 8-2 by beating Netts E 9-1. Peter Dacey and Trevor Laird were unbeaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rayne F hava also won both their matches, Dave Whiting leading them to a 7-3 win over Rayne G.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Netts F followed their first-week draw with a 7-3 win over Notley F where James Howard was unbeaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Notley G have started the season with matches against their own club\u2019s F and H teams. After a 6-4 defeat against the F team, they reversed the result in their next match but not before Wayne Wilson had repeated last week\u2019s hat-trick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
New team Sudbury Drifters opened their account with a draw against Yeldham B.\u00a0 Steve Willis was unbeaten for Yeldham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
