On behalf of Westfield Table Tennis Club, it is my sad duty to report the death of Adrian Roper.

Adrian was an integral part of the Junior coaching setup at Westfield, helping coach a range of abilities, from Beginner to County standard. He was always thinking about table tennis and loved nothing more than sharing his accumulated knowledge with everyone at the Club. Seeing individuals progress and develop gave him real joy.

His death is a huge loss to Westfield and the wider table tennis community, but an even bigger loss to his immediate family and friends. He will be greatly missed.

Rest in peace.

Adrian Roper

Weavers School was flooded after last weekend's heavy rain. Thankfully the flooding didn't directly affect the table tennis hall, so coaching and open sessions continue as normal

This year's Presentation evening was held at the Catholic Club in Corby, on Friday 17th May.

Titles won at the Annual Closed tournament, as well as League honours were presented.

Congratulations go to Nicole Bird, who was awarded 'Player of the Tournament' - a deserving title. Adam Koszyk was presented with the 'Most Improved Junior' award, and on a great night for Westfield, the 'D' and 'A' team were runners-up and winners on the Kettering Anniversary Trophy! And to top things off, Westfield also won the quiz!!

A great night was had by all, and we look forward to doing it all again next season.

Last night (13/5/2024), Westfield C played Wanderes C in the Challege Cup Final. Unfortunately, Westfield fell just short, unable to overcome Wanderes 120 start. It was an entertaining match, played in the right spirit. Congratulations go to captain Asish Nandi, and regulars Karol Rylik, Ben Stomeman and James Lock. The C team were also runners-up in the league, losing out by 7 points to Highfield B. All in all a great season.

With Ben Aldridge unavailable, Bart Koszyk stepped up for Westfield for the last day of National Junior League. His team mates were Adam Koszyk, Tor West-Ley and Gabriela Koszyk.

Playing in the top division, and against much older opposition (this is the Under 19 category), we played some really good table tennis. We ultimately finished fith in the division, but I saw lots of improvement throughout the season, and look forward to managing this team next season.

Onwards and upwards!

Our cadet team of Prithvi Menon, Adam Koszyk, Tor West – Ley and Bartoz Koszkz started the final day of the National Cadet League at the The Hindu Centre, Wellingborough in second place behind Archway and with a slender lead of 3 points over Luton A  - so all to play for.
They started off their day against Knighton Park with Prithvi and Adam remaining unbeaten and Bart winning 1 game.
Next up was Woodford Wells who were also dispatched, this time with Prithvi and Tor gaining maximum points and Adam securing 1 point.
The most crucial match of the day against Luton A who had strengthened their team since our last meeting with the addition of Violet-Lily Marquise, one of the top young players in the country. Prithiv’s game was very close with Violet finally securing the victory 16-14 in the 5th end. The match finished 3-3 with Prithvi, Adam and Tor all taking one game.
Our penultimate match of the day was against Notts 3 who we comfortably beat 5-1 with Prithvi and Adam again keeping clean sheets and Bart contributing a valuable 1 point.
The final match against the runaway leaders, Archway, proved a step too far; we could not match the previous weekend’s 3-3 draw and were beaten 6-0 despite some close encounters.
 
The overall result was a very well-earned silver medal– well done to all the players!!
Final tables can be found here.
