TABLE TENNIS: COLIN Boardman justified his Inter-League final selection with a superb unbeaten stint in Oldham’s 5-4 win over Chester & Ellesmere Port.

In a match which ebbed and flowed, the town team found themselves 4-3 behind and with no margin for error.

Ian Quinn held his nerve to level proceedings with a close-fought win over Rob Wylie to set up a final-set decider.

And Boardman displayed remarkable calm under pressure to clinch the vital win over Mike Mercer.
