Week 21
Drayton A have been crowned champions of Division 1 of the Didcot and District Table Tennis Association. They secured the clubs first ever league title with a 5-5 draw against second placed Didcot A who had earlier overcome Abingdon A by 6-4 to put pressure on the leaders. Meanwhile, RAL A registered a 7-3 win over Letcombe A.
The top two positions look to be filled in Division 2 with Didcot D still on top and RAL C in second spot. Drayton D kept up the pressure in third with a 7-3 win over Sutton A with Gardner hitting a treble. Sutton B had Vincent Yang to thank as they beat Moreton B 8-2 and Drayton C put paid to Upton by 6-4 thanks to a Ray Massie maximum. Howbery B returned to winning ways with a 9-1 win over Abingdon C.
Abingdon E have been promoted from Division 3 whilst clubmates Abingdon F look to be relegated following a 7-3 defeat to Moreton C and a Charlie Lane treble and a 10-0 thrashing at the hands of Letcombe B. Abingdon D also had a week to forget as they went down 7-3 to a Gavin Bosse inspired Sutton C.
A 10-0 win over RAL F has ensured Wallingford are champions in Division 4 with Letcombe C close to securing second place. Abingdon G kept alive their faint hopes of promotion with a 6-4 win over Abingdon H thanks to three wins from Dan Cruse whilst Lucian Danaila helped Sutton D to a 6-4 win over Grove.
Upton B remain firmly in control of Division 5 with Moreton F at the wrong end of the table following a 9-1 defeat against Drayton G.
