Table Tennis High in Champs

Varsity players did very well in the Wellington Championships held a fortnight ago. Although the only outright win was the Open Handicap Doubles, won by Alpe and Smith, Club members played well to reach several semi-finals.

In the Second Grade Singles Phillips eliminated Boroughs, the Wonder Boy from Christchurch, only to be put out in the semi-finals by Flint, another Christchurch player. In the other semi-final Grinlinton was defeated by Gray, of Shipping, in an exciting game. In the Second Grade Doubles Grinlinton and Mayo reached the semifinals, where they were beaten by Flint and Boroughs, who went on to win the event. Shirley Grinlinton was defeated in the semi-finals of the Women's Second Grade Singles by Miss Wineera, of Hospital. Finally the College B team did well in the teams handicap event.

So far as the Interclub Grade Championships are concerned, the Club's top team has won its Grade, being three points ahead of the next team, with one match to play. The C team still has a chance of winning its Grade. The two D teams have no results sheets in: if they don't play off a few matches very soon they will have to default as examinations are getting close.

The C Grade team last week beat A.M.P. by 7 games to 5. In this match Mayo and Grinlinton were the only members of the usual team playing, the absentees being replaced by Geoff. Stewart, from the D team and Shirley Grlnlinton. Only one double out of 4 was won by V.U.C. (Grinlinton and Mayo) and the match was "won on our singles play. Mayo and Grinlinton won ell their singles, Stewart and Shirley Grinlinton one each out of two.
