Handicap joy for Werneth ‘B’

TABLE TENNIS:

TWO basement teams contested the Oldham Table Tennis League Division One Handicap Cup final.

And it was Werneth ‘B’, conceding a 26-point start to Rosehill, who pulled through by five points.

Rosehill held on to their lead until the mid-way stage of the contest when Mick Pellowe gained 23 points on Jimmy Findlow.

This handed Werneth an 11-point lead, and with the next games fairly even there was still all to play for in the doubles.

Phil Ashworth (+10) partnered Andy Perry (+5) for Rosehill and gained three points against the Werneth pairing of Dave Cheetham (+9) and Mick Pellowe (+23) — but they just came up short in the race for the line
