North Ayrshire Table Tennis Club have successfully retained their West of Scotland Table Tennis League Premier Title. Chris and Richard Main with the assistance of Ian MacPherson headed the table all season remaining undefeated. Richard also finished top of the individual table only dropping one match.
Hopefully next season we we will have The Ayrshire Table Tennis Association League running so we can include more of our young talent and encourage some of the old hands to be competitively active which will in turn give us the opportunity to raise the standard in Ayrshire Table Tennis and gain entry to Inter League.

On Sunday 19 April at Holyrood Sports Centre West of Scotland Table Tennis hosted a minor league assesment for players not yet achieving the higher grades. 31 Players attended with ATTA sending 10 players representing 4 Clubs. Holidays and unavailability heavily reduced ATTA player participation with initial indications of sending a 25 plus strong team.
David Benson produced his form of the season achieving 9 place. Everyone participated well with the members of our newest clubs St Bridget's & Greenwood having their first competition experience.

Richard Main - North Ayrshire & Alan McCarry - South Ayrshire both made the top 10. Last minute addition Sean Doyle from newly formed Garnock Valley TT struggled against the regular league & competition players in his pool but is determined to enter again with some regular competitive play and practice behind him.

We at SATTC are trying to introduce kids into the game having started a Junior Club on Saturday mornings in Troon. Does anyone out there have some useful advice as to the starting age. I am thinking 8-9 years. Any other useful hints and tips are welcome.
Cheers,
Gary
