There were just five re-scheduled matches in the Clacton League this week and, in Division One<\/strong>, Windsor Eagles consolidated their top half table position with a 6-4 victory over Walton B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gary Cattermole, Gavin Price and John Pattrick all took a couple for the Eagles, while Pete Burrows saved Walton\u2019s blushes with an undefeated three, also sharing a doubles success with Graham Buxton against Cattermole and Pattrick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Division Two<\/strong>, Brotherhood G end the first half of the League season at the top of the table, finishing with an 8-2 success over Nomads Tigers. Mark Boyland won his three, with Paul Metcalf and Mark Beckham each winning a couple. Tom Wilkin took the Tigers\u2019 two points while Matt Sage came close against Metcalf, eventually going down 12-10 in the decider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brotherhood F and Lawford enjoyed a competitive evening\u2019s table tennis, Brotherhood\u2019s Mark Salter in top form to remain unbeaten and, in the process, inflict a first defeat of the season on John Colvin. But it was Lawford who emerged 6-4 victors, Colvin and Charlie Denholm each taking two and Ian Sherwood picking up a crucial 11-9 in the fifth win against Tricia Salter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windsor Falcons caught up on their fixtures with two matches in Division Three<\/strong>, although both ended in defeat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their all-Windsor clash with the Magpies ended in a 7-3 victory for the Magpies, John Plummer winning three, Alan Rutledge two and Dave Sweetland one. Both of Rutledge\u2019s victories were five-setters, 11-6 in the decider against Nikki Hayes and a nail-biting 16-14 in the decider against Nigel Rolph. Matt Thomas won two for the Falcons and Rolph one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Falcons also went down in their second match, 8-2 to Brotherhood E. There were hat-tricks here for Brotherhood\u2019s Jack Hillier and Tony Edmonds, while Rodney Betts won two but lost to Gary Barnes. However, the Falcons had the minor satisfaction of winning a doubles match for the first time this season, a close 11-9, 7-11, 11-9, 8-11, 11-9 for Barnes and Nigel Rolph against Hillier and Edmonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
