Twickenham Brunswick Premier Table Tennis Club rounded off a truly fantastic season with three of its

members representing Richmond in the London Youth Games and a further six players representing London

in the National Finals of clubs for Young People.

In the regional qualifiers last month, Brunswick took Gold and Silver medals in the U.12  U14. and U.19 age

groups and all six players were selected to represent London in the National finals held at the Halton Club in

Widnes this weekend.

In the U.19’s Shahrokh Mostame and Sean Mcmenamin both qualified from the group stages only to be

knocked out in the first round of the knockout stage. At U.14 Tom Bell and Jamie Mclean  qualified from

their groups only to be drawn against each other in the Knock out stage, Tom Bell won in three sets but was

then beaten in three sets himself in the quarter finals.

 

In the U.12 age group there was further success as Isaac Williamson and Jonathon Tomlinson –Low also

qualified from their groups for the knockout competition. Both again won their first round matches before

Isaac Williamson was defeated in the quarter finals in a thrilling five set match against Stefan Jeczalic ranked

in the top five players at U.11 in Wales.

At the same stage Jonathan Tomlinson –Low pulled back from 2 sets to 0 down to win 3-2 in his quarter

final match only to be defeated by Stefan  from Wales in the semi-finals.

 

Meanwhile in Redbridge Sean Cordon, Xuanyu Lin and Nunzio Amitrano were representing Richmond Upon

Thames at Table Tennis in the London Youth Games. In a tremendous opening match against Sutton, Sean and

Xuanyu battled their way to 2 games all in the singles before Sutton over came the pair in a deciding doubles match.

Brent also proved to be too powerful for the Richmond team, fielding two of  Middlesex’s top 10 Junior ranked

players and winning 4-1 in games.

Lambeth though were no match for Sean, Xuanyu and Nunzio who powered their way to a 5-0 victory earning

themselves a 3^rd position in the group stage. Mike Grieveson Manager for the day was very impressed with the

teams performance.

 

In a season that has seen ten junior players achieve National Rankings and many more   London Junior Rankings,

Twickenham Brunswick is a growing force in the sport of Table Tennis.

Today, Sunday 11th May 2008, the club was represented by eight of our young players, at London Progress, the venue for the West London Zone.

Mathew Estibals, Ben Bate, Tom Saier and Jack Tubby all still novices to the game entered Band D where all had a full day of competitive Table Tennis. Mathew did particularly well playing in a group of nine players where he manged 6 wins and only two defeats. In Band C Nunzio Amitrano and Jonathan Tomlinson put up good performances, but special mention should go to Tom Bell who won his group and Isaac Williamson who only lost one match out of the 7 he played. Both qualified for the All London, but due to other committments will not be able to play in the Finals.

Well done to all the squad who again enhanced the reputation of our club.

Congratulations to the members of the Table Tennis Club who helped by participating in the 12 hour sponsored table tennis events on Friday 31st August and Saturday 8th September. The money  raised so far amounts to £ 267-00 with still half of the money to be paid in. The money raised will certainly cover our affiliation fees for this year and may enable us to purchase some new equipment.

The event finally raised over £500-00. Thanks to all who took part!!!

THE TABLE TENNIS EXPERIENCE

The 23rd to the 27th July 2007

 

Twickenham Brunswick Table Tennis Experience a Smash Hit

 

The long and sometimes boring Summer Holidays got off to great

start last week for around fifty young people who attended the

London Summer of Sport Event held courtesy of Twickenham

Brunswick Club for Young People. Thanks to the funding

provided by London Summer of Sport the club was able to open

its doors each morning for three hours providing the young

people with fun,activity and an introduction to the skills of

Table Tennis.Many of the young people were new to the sport,

but reports from the parents suggest that many may be returning

to the club to build on the skills they developed in the past

week.

Such has been the interest and enthusiasm of the young people

that the club may well stage another week of Table Tennis fun

in the autumn half term.

In a borough where there are very few opportunities to play or

participate in Table Tennis Twickenham Brunswick are

striving to make young people aware of the fun of the sport and

the opportunities available to them.

Saturday 30th June was the MYPC Fishing Tournament

They say, "Every cloud has a silver lining!."

They say "Who dares wins!" 

I say, " They are absolutely right"

The day could not have started any worse. Joanna Swan and her dad arrived for the competition but a late withdrawal by our only other member meant we were left with just the one pair to participate in the competition. Not only that but the weather was overcast, and the intermittent showers were frequently followed by downpours.

We certainly had the clouds ... but what about the silver lining? You ask.

Well I lied ... it was a Gold lining. A damp Joanna started fishing a little reluctantly, until she hooked her first catch .... whereupon there was a sudden transformation from the damp, bedraggled, moody Joanna to the happy, confident, angler extrordinaire.

Reeling in catch after catch Joanna blew away the opposition amassing the greatest weight of fish caught in the time winning the Gold Medal for herself and Twickenham Brunswick.

Yes Who dares wins ... Joanna dared  and  Joanna Won!

Congratulations Joanna

 

 

 

 

 

Twickenham Brunswick Members

Show Competitive Edge

 

Twenty-two members of Twickenham Brunswick club turned out this Sunday to represent the club at the annual Middlesex Young People’s Clubs Athletics Meeting held in Uxbridge. In an age when many frown upon competition Twickenham Brunswick relishes every opportunity to compete for, in the eyes of the club, everyone who represents the club is a winner, the only losers being those who do not take part.

The club is proud of all of its athletes, whether a medal winner or coming last all showed the same courage to have a go.

 

The Boys U.11 team did produce a few medal winning performances George Evans  and Daniel Kowalski won Medals in the Long Jump while Jack Marshman ran a controlled 800m  sprinting when necessary to win a much deserved  Silver medal.

 

In the boys U.13 team there were two exceptional performances by Vin Ly of Teddington School winning four Gold medals in 100m, Long Jump High Jump and the relay and Jed Shrubb, while Jed Shrubb collected  Gold, Silver and Bronze medals in the 400m, Long Junp and 1500m respectively and also competed in the Gold medal winning relay team along with Matthew Hollands and Ben Green.

 

The Girls U.13 team though only three in number won sufficient points to claim the U.13 Girls Trophy. The trio of Lucy Rose, Ellie and Jodie Byrne won four individual medals between them and were highly placed in all their other events thereby emulating last year’s U.13 giirl’s team.

 

Other Medal winners included Relohn Newton an accomplished athlete who won one Gold in the U.17’s 100m and two Silver medals in the High Jump and Long Jump. Also Emma Prendergast and Joanna Swan who also did the club proud with their medal winning performances.

 

Thanks also go to other team members Max Wilkinson, Jacob Jeffery, Roisin and Rhiannon Folan, Rebecca Gorton, Daniel and Chris Pendlebury and Harry Mason who all contributed towards making it such a successful competition for the club.

The MYPC Table Tennis Tournament

Sunday the 1st April 2007 Twickenham Brunswick  hosted the Middlesex Young People's Clubs Table Tennis Tournament.

The club  was open from 11am for practice with the tournament at 1pm. It was a little disappointing that there were not more entries but those who came certainly had a good day and seemed to enjoy themselves. Twickenham Brunswick being a table tennis club as well as Youth Centre traditionally do well in this competition but the stakes were upped by the arrival of Tony Wilkinson from Larkspur Rovers a highly proficient player, ranked 35 as a cadet at in England and Daniel from the OK Club.

In the Singles competition at U.12 Luke Ravenscroft took Gold with Huw Bell in Silver Medal position.

In the U.14 age group there were several very competitive games But Xuanyu Lin (Jack)  came out on top taking the Gold medal with Sam Galvin winning Silver.

At U.16 Tony Wilkinson proved far too strong for the best Twickenham players and coasted to the Gold Medal with Sean Cordon of Twickenham coming Runner up.

In the U.19 age group Sean Mc Menamin won Gold for the Twickenham Club while Daniek of the OK Club  took Silver Medal.

In a Tops and Tails  Doubles competition Tony Wilkinson and Josh Taylor reached the final taking on Xuanyu Lin and Daniel from the OK Club, where the partnership of Xuanyu and Daniel proved just a little too much for Tony and Josh. but it made for a interesting end of the the day.

Well done to all those who came and took part. It was  great day and the matches were played in a good spirit. The competition was a pleasure to run. Thank you too to Rachel for helping in the canteen and for presenting the medals.

 

 

 

MCYP  5  A Side Football Tournament

 

Saturday the 13^th January 2007 was the date set for the Middlesex Clubs five a side tournament.

 

For the past couple of years the club has been fortunate enough to have the support of adults to manage, train and transport teams to such events. This year however it was not the case. And so just a small squad of U.12 boys were our only representatives at the competition held in Harrow.

 

CONGRATULATIONS must go to the squad of George and Joe Evans, Harry Mason, Marcel Howard and Vin Ly who were great ambassadors for the club. As a team they played well and were sporting both amongst themselves and towards their opponents.

 

The team played two matches against Belmont FC and Isleworth Explorers. Our team gave an extremely good account of themselves creating many opportunities to shoot. The squad was on average a year younger than most of their opponents so it is to their credit that they lost by the narrowest of margins in their two eight minute matches.

 

Belmont FC 2   Twickenham Brunswick 1

Isleworth Explorers 2    Twickenham Brunswick 0

 

I am only too pleased to report that the squad was one of the best behaved groups I have ever taken out to an event, both on the long journey to and from Harrow and whilst there. Also thank you David Silver, who accompanied us and without whom the trip could not have taken place.

 

Well done to you all!
