Wellingborough Challenge Trophy 2026

written on May 2, 2026, 12:27 pmby Kevin Birdin News Updates

Congratulations go to Westfield C, who beat Old Grammarians A to become Challenge Trophy winners for 2026. In an entertaining match, the Westfield trio of Ben Stoneman, Asish Nandi and Jose Garcia beat the OG's trio of Jon Perkins, Pete Boustred and Paul Goodman. OG's were arguabluy missing their best player, Grant Timms, who is currently in hospital recovering from a procedure. We wish him a speedy recovery. Westfield were also missing their highest averaging player, Karol Rylik. Despite this, Ben Stoneman got Westfield off to a flying start by beating Jon Perkins 4-0. He also drew 2-2 with Paul Goodman and Pete Boustred, to end his matches with a 25 point surplus (well played)! Jose Garcia also put in a good shift, halving with both Paul Goodman and Jon Perkins, and whilst Asish struggled with the pimples of Goodman, the team had done enough overall to win by 28 points (once the handicap of 80 points had been added). Scorecad and team phor below.

Northant's Schools Individual Competition - 10th February 2026

written on February 18, 2026, 7:51 pmby Kevin Birdin News Updates

Several players from Westfield competed in the recent Schools Competition. Here's how they got on.

U11 Girls

Sophia Goodley (who trains with us on a Monday) had a really close game in the girls' final and was unlucky to lose out in a close-fought five-ender. Although disappointed with the outcome, I'm sure the experience will help her progress quickly and make her hungry for more.

U11 Boys

Matty and Sebby Stevenson (who also trains with us on a Monday) were club memebers who competed in this age category. Matty played well, but had a tough group that contained the No. 1 seed. Seb was in the other group and played very well to reach the final, only losing to the top seed as well. Well done Seb on reaching the final.

U13 Boys

Bart Koszyk cruised into the final, but another title was not to be. His opponent was too consistent, and paired with Bart's limited preparation, it was well played but a step too far.

U16 Boys

Nathan Siu and top seed Tor West-Ley were club members in this age category. Nathan played well in patches, but his lack of matchplay meant he missed out on crucial phases in the match. More matchplay will certainly sharpen up his game. Tor put in a dominant display to lift the title. His route to the final was untroubled and a comfortable victory in the final saw him crowned County Chamption - well done!

U19 Boys

Like his younger brother Bart Koszyk, Adam had a fairly straightforward route to the final. And like his brother, his opponent's better rallying was the difference. Both brothers have good TT fundamentals, but improvement in consistency is needed to progress to the next level.
