ELTTL Week 13 Report

15/12/2014

0 Comments

 
There was a break from League Action as Week 13 of the Edinburgh & Lothians Table Tennis League saw the last 16 matches take place in the annual League Cup Competition. With the format of the Competition based on player handicaps, Penicuik took the opportunity of fielding teams with players of mixed standards. For the first time in the Club's history, Penicuik were victorious in season 2013/14 as Greig McDonell, Iain Johnstone and Abby Wighton combined to win the Handicap Cup final in June 2014. As reigning champions, the trio stayed together to defend their title and after a 5-0 win over Murrayfield in the previous round, their passage to the quarter final stage of this years event was secured with a 5-0 defeat of West Lothian. 

Penicuik's other Cup team in action last week saw Brian Bailey of Penicuik 2 combine with Krzystof Laszkiewicz from the Club's 4th Team and the fifth team's Luke Hennessey as they faced a tricky tie against Murrayfield 5 at Ladywood. In the race to 5, the home trio looked like their campaign in this year's competition was over as they lost four of the first 5 matches to trail 4-1. However, a fantastic comeback saw the home side win the next 3 matches to tie the game at 4-4 going into the deciding game of the night. Penicuik's four wins had been shared equally between 11 year old Luke Hennessey making his debut in the Handicap Cup and Krzystof Laszkiewicz playing for only the second time in the competition. The deciding game fell to be played by the more experienced Brian Bailey and having not contributed in the match to that point Brian was determined to make his experience count which he duly did as the home side recorded an excellent 5-4 comeback win which sees them also progress into the quarter final stage.


Penicuik's 3rd Team entered into the Competition play their last 16 match this week against a strong Corstorphine side.
