26th Oct 2009

County Antrim Table Tennis League                                     Committee Meeting Held on Wednesday 21 October 2009 @ 8-00 pm in GWMSC Present: David Nicholl (Chairman), Mike Maguire (Secretary & Treasurer), Stephen Clarke (Match Secretary), Norman McBride (Assistant Secretary), Alvis Wright (President), Colin Clements (Knockagh), Andrew Foreman (Ballyclare Methodists), Alan Jamison (Larne), Hugh Patterson (Carnmoney 92).(9 attended) 1   Apologies: Anne Montgomery (Ballyclare Methodists), Norma Jamison (Larne), Mark Clements (Knockagh), Brian Orr (Restaurant 1608), Gary McClelland (Restaurant 1608), Brian Bonnar (Coleraine Baptists), Ida Kee (Coleraine Baptists). 2   Minutes of previous meeting (AGM 30 September 2009)The Chairman asked the meeting to consider and agree each page in turn.These minutes were passed at the proposal by Stephen Clarke and seconded by Andrew Foreman. Secretary handed out hard copies of the revised rules after the AGM decisions, and Chairman read out these revisions at rules 8.10 and 8.11. The meeting was reminded that these agreed minutes would be presented again at the next AGM. 3   Matters arising from minutes – Main business : agreeing teams into divisionsSecretary circulated each club’s up-to-date proposals for team panels and preferred divisions with a single page updated analysis into divisions, division 1 with 5 teams, division 2 with 7 teams, division 3 with 9 teams and division 4 with 7 teams, total 28 teams. The meeting discussed the merits of each team as placed in its required division, and noted the difficulties with assessing players’ percentage wins from last season, when specific players were now placed in higher or lower divisions. Consideration of a 5 division analysis was suggested for consideration by Norman McBride.The only changes to the updated 4 division proposals were: Academy Jazz was moved up to division 3, Academy Blaze was moved down to division 4 and Academy Tigers was added to division 4. This resulted in 4 divisions of respectively 5, 7, 9 and 8 teams, total 29 teams. This analysis into 4 divisions with 29 teams was formally proposed by Colin Clements, seconded by Mike Maguire and passed unanimously.The logistics of running division 3 with 9 teams resulted in 2 different recommendations for a committee vote and decision.A motion to play 8 matches, and then split into A and B groups of 4 and 5 was proposed by Norman McBride, seconded by Andrew Foreman, and voting was 4 for, 1 against and 1 abstain.A motion to play 16 matches, home and away as normal, was proposed by Mike Maguire, seconded by Stephen Clarke, and voting was 2 for and 4 against.The meeting agreed to consider the division 3 position after 8 matches played, at its meeting in January 2010. 4.   Player ConductSecretary circulated an email dated 28 September 2009 from Islandmagee secretary. This raised five issues requiring a response from League Secretary. Secretary explained that he had responded on 29 September 2009, clarifying some issues, and assuring that the league committee would be informed of Islandmagee’s concerns. The meeting discussed the criticisms of children returning from matches late and not receiving an award for finishing in third place in their division. The meeting did not consider that the other issues, of cheating and unfair competition at tournaments, needed any further action. Secretary read out a section of the final Islandmagee response of 29 September 2009, that ‘the parents & children involved do not wish to log any official complaint other than to bring to your attention that it was noticed’. The response ended with ‘hopefully we shall have some teams next season’. Chairman and Secretary asked the committee about Islandmagee’s concerns, and the meeting considered that all concerns had been satisfactorily answered. President reminded the meeting that in the past CATTL had assisted two primary school teachers organize under 12, under 14 and under 17 school tournaments for up to 5 schools, but these teachers had since retired from their schools. Some committee members commented that this school competition may be re-commenced. Secretary stated that he had the original CATTL trophies, last presented in 2007.  5.   AOB (Any Other Business)The subject of hospitality/entertainment being provided at matches was discussed, following correspondence between Secretary and Brian Bonnar of Coleraine Baptists. Secretary had explained that this was not normal for CATTL teams. The subject of CATTL running under 12, under 14 and/or under 17 tournaments for schools was discussed. Alan Jamison raised the question of could the doubles match be played after the first 3 singles matches, instead of as the final game of the ten games in a match. Chairman pointed out that any rule change could only be proposed and voted on at an AGM. However, there was no reason why a team captain should not ask the opposing team to play any game in a different order to that on the match sheet. The committee noted that frequently players do not play all matches in the order as on the match sheet. As with the situation mentioned at the AGM, where an opposing team would be asked to co-operate with any reasonable request regarding playing a match, a similar understanding would be expected.  The date for the Annual Dinner and Awards was considered and the meeting noted that Friday 7th May 2010 was suitable, as this was not the bank holiday weekend. There were no further items raised under AOB. 6.   Date and venue for next meeting The meeting agreed that the next meeting should be scheduled for Tuesday 12 January 2010 at Ballymena Academy. The main business would be agreeing handicaps for the Knock Out cup, and considering the division 3 position after 8 matches played.The Chairman closed the meeting at 9.30pm.            ADDED NOTE: Subsequent discussion between league officers resulted in these topics being deferred to a February 2010 meeting, date to be arranged

25th Oct 2009

COUNTY ANTRIM OPEN 2009 OPEN SINGLES The Sixmile Leisure centre in Ballyclare hosted the Newtownabbey B C sponsored County Antrim Open the first Ulster ranking Tournament of 2009. Organised by the County Antrim League Committee the tournament ran very smoothly and it was great to see local talent very much to the fore in the various competitions. It was to rapturous applause and a standing ovation that Ballymena based table tennis star Wallace Mahaffy won the premier event of the night the County Antrim Singles. Mahaffy, who had lost in last year’s semi-final, won his first County Antrim men’s table tennis singles title at the expense of County Down’s Peter Clarke. Mahaffy had defeated fellow Ballymena star Pawet Sulkowski (Academy Strongtower) in a five set thriller and then saw off the challenge of Fermanagh’s Stephen Slater in the quarter final. Tyrone’s Robert Fisher would succumb to Mahaffey in the semi final. In the other half of the draw Peter Clarke defeated Norman Nabney, Patrick Guy and Martin Pickles before causing the major upset of the night by beating last year’s winner and Ulster number one  Daryl Strong in the semi-final. In the final Clarke coasted to an 11:5 win in the first game. But Mahaffy’s power hitting won the second game 11:9.  The third game was all Mahaffy as he won 11:4.  Clarke fought back in the fourth set and won some exhilarating rallies before eventually being edged out 11:8.  GRADE 2 SINGLES Combination bat aficionado and talented defender Martin Pickles (Wolverhampton), runner-up in last years Class 2, went one better this year to defeat  crowd favourite  Ballyclare’s own Gary Crawford in the final. GRADE 3 AND VETERAN SINGLES SULKOWSKI FAMILY MONOPOLY  This year’s County Antrim Open event featured two newcomers to the Newtownabbey Borough Council sponsored tournament; unseeded father and son duo of Pawet and David Sulkowski from the Ballymena’s Academy Strongtower club. Pawet Sulkowski had lost narrowly in five sets in the Open Singles to the eventual winner Wallace Mahaffey but he proved unstoppable in the vereran’s singles.  In the semi-final he comfortably defeated Wollverhampton’s Martin Pickles and pulled off a major surprise by defeating Open Singles finalist Peter Clarke in the veteran’s final. Pawets sixteen year old son David had lost in the second round of the Open Singles but he too was unstoppable in the Grade 3 singles defeating Johnston Irwin in the semi-final and Ballyclare’s Richard Davies in a five set thriller final.  Sympathy must go to Peter Clarke, reaching two finals, the Open Singles and the Veterans, winning the first game in each final, but losing both 3-1.Peter collected his two runners-up awards, and set his mind on going one better next year! Presenting the awards, the County Antrim League chairman David Nicholl thanked Mike Maguire for organising this annual event again, thanked Newtownabbey Borough Council for their sponsorship, thanked Norman McBride for assisting with the administration and hoped all competitors would enter the next County Antrim Open in January 2010. OPEN SINGLES Semi FinalsPeter Clarke beat Daryl Strong 11:4, 11:8, 8:11, and 11:6Wallace Mahaffy beat Robert Fisher 11:8, 11:1, 11:9FinalWallace Mahaffy beat Peter Clarke 5:11, 11:9, 11:4, and 11:8  VETERANS Semi FinalsPawet Sulkowski beat Martin Pickles 11:6, 11:5, 12:14, 11:2Peter Clarke beat Norman Nabney 11:3, 11:9, 11:4 FinalPawet Sulkowski beat Peter Clarke 7:11, 11:9, 11:7, and 11:7 GRADE 2 Semi FinalsGary Crawford beat Patrick Guy 11:8, 12:14, 11:9, 11:7Martin Pickles beat IvanJeffers 11:8, 11:9 11:13, 11:7 FinalMartin Pickles beat Gary Crawford 6:11, 12:10, 11:8, 11:7 GRADE 3 Semi FinalsDavid Sulkowski beat Johnston Irwin 11:5, 11:7, 11:3Richard Davies beat Gary McClelland 3:11, 11:8, 14:12. 11:5 FinalDavid Sulkowski beat Richard Davies 11:5, 11:6, 9:11, 9:11, 11:4
academy strongtower stage 2009 Ballymena Open

25th Oct 2009

BALLYMENA TABLE TENNIS TOURNAMENTAfter eighteen years the Ballymena Open was revived and the entry of almost ninety players reflected the renewed interest in table tennis in the area. Eighteen years ago in Ballymena town hall it was the tall German table tennis player Jens Leyner who defeated local champion Brian McRandall. This year the Open title went to Poland with Pawet Sulkowski defeating St Louis Grammar school’s teenage sensation Mark McGuigan. McGuigan had caused a major shock by defeating top seed and Academy Strongtower player David Sulkowski in the semi final. Indeed, McGuigan took the first set in the final but Pawet Sulkowki, who had defeated Larne’s Philip Jamison in the semis, got revenge for his sons defeat by winning the next three sets and the title. The Grade two tournament proved to be an all Academy Strongtower semi final with Adam McIlmoyle playing attacking table tennis to defeat Raymond Marks in straight sets a feat replicated by his team mate Jimmy O’Hara who defeated Kenneth Johnston in straight sets. The final saw youth take on experience and it was youth that triumphed with McIlmoyle beating O’Hara in straight sets. The Grade three tournament proved a real exciting event with two cracking semi-finals pitting Academy Strongtower players against the two top players from Coleraine. The Academy’s Tom McLeister had to battle hard to defeat Coleraine’s Brian Bonnar in four tight sets and Jack Neeson, also from the Academy, caused the upset of the night by defeating the talented James Dillon in four sets. Unfortunately the young Neeson couldn’t repeat the giant killing in the final with McLeister winning comfortably in three sets. The Grade four semi-finals also had two Academy players in the semi finals against two Ballyclare lads. The top seed Kyle Higginson from Ballyclare disposed of Jordon Hood in a four tight sets while the other semi final went the way of the Academy with surprise package Tom Alexander defeating the talented Christopher McGookin in straight sets. Despite Alexander’s best efforts the title went to Ballyclare’s Kyle Higginson in four sets. The novelty hard bat competition had one Academy semi finalist in Wayne Charleton who was matched against Ballyclare’s Richard Davies – a three times hard bat winner in the Co Antrim league tournaments. Not unexpectedly Davies progressed to the final in straight sets. In the final he was to meet Ballymoney legend Brian Orr who had been temped out of table tennis retirement for this event. Orr had defeated Poland’s Pawet Sulkowski in the semis and showed that he was still a class act – as far as the hard bat is concerned - by beating Davies comfortably in the final 11:6 and  11:3. A full round up of results from quarter finals stage is given below:  Open SinglesQuarter FinalsPawet Sulkowski (Poland) beat Gary McClelland (Leck Scaffolding)11:8, 11:6, 11:13, 11:8Philip Jamison (Ballymoney Meth) beat Andrew Davies (Ballymoney Meth) 11:8, 5:11, 11:9, 11:7Mark McGuigan (Leck Scaffolding) beat Richard Davies (Ballymoney Meth)12:10, 11:4, 11:6David Sulkowski (Academy Strongtower) defeated Francis Shirley (Leck Scaffolding)11:7, 11:7, 11:8Semi Finals Pawet Sulkowski (Poland) beat Philip Jamison (Ballymoney Meth)11:8, 11:7, 11:6Mark McGuigan (Leck Scaffolding) beat David Sulkowski (Academy Strongtower)11:7, 8:11, 11:9, 11:7FinalPawet Sulkowski (Poland) beat Mark McGuigan (Leck Scaffolding)9:11, 11:6, 11:9, 11:6 Open Hard BatQuarter finalsRichard Davies (Ballymoney Meth) beat Philip Jamison (Ballymoney Meth)11:9, 6:11, 11:8Wayne Charleton (Academy Strongtower) beat Norman McBride (Academy Strongtower)11:8, 13:15, 11:8Pawet Sulkowski (Poland) beat David Sulkowski (Academy Strongtower)11:8, 8:11, 11:5Brian Orr (Leck Scaffolding) beat Gary McClelland (Leck Scaffolding)11:7, 11:6Semi Finals Richard Davies (Ballymoney Meth) beat Wayne Charleton (Academy Strongtower)11:5, 11:9Brian Orr (Leck Scaffolding) beat Pawet Sulkowski (Poland)11:7, 11:9FinalBrian Orr (Leck Scaffolding) beat Richard Davies (Ballymoney Meth)11:6, 11:3 Grade 2Quarter finalsJimmy O’Hara (Academy Legends) defeated Amy Hawthorne (Academy Patriots) 11:13, 11:7, 13:11, 11:9Kenneth Johnston (Academy 7Towers) defeated Stephen Clarke (Doagh) 11:5. 11:6. 11:6Adam McIlmoyle (Academy Legends) defeated Ryan Martin (Larne) 8:11, 11:3, 11:8, and 11:8Raymond Marks (Academy 7Towers) defeated Colin Clements (Doagh) 11:2, 13:11 11:9Semi Finals Jimmy O’Hara (Academy Legends) defeated Kenneth Johnston (Academy 7Towers) 11:8, 11:6, 12:10.Adam McIlmoyle (Academy Legends) defeated Raymond Marks (Academy 7Towers) 11:7, 11:8, 11:2FinalAdam McIlmoyle (Academy Legends) defeated Jimmy O’Hara (Academy Legends)11:7, 11:9, 11:6 Grade 3Quarter finalsTom McLeister (Academy Patriots) defeated Aaron Douglas (Bushmills) 12:10, 11:2, 11:6Brian Bonnar (Coleraine Baptist) defeated William Weatherup (Ballyclare Meth) 11:3, 11:8, 11:6James Dillon (Coleraine Baptist) defeated Michael Witherspoon (Academy Patriots)11:4, 11:5, 11:5Peter Neeson (Academy Aztecs) defeated Jordon Hood (Academy Aztecs) 11:6, 11:9, 11:9Semi FinalsTom McLeister (Academy Patriots) defeated Brian Bonnar (Coleraine Baptist)  9:11. 11:6, 13:11, 11:8Peter Neeson (Academy Aztecs) defeated James Dillon (Coleraine Baptist) 12:10, 6:11, 11:7, 11:9FinalTom McLeister (Academy Patriots) defeated Peter Neeson (Academy Aztecs) 11:6, 11:3, 11:5 Grade 4Quarter finalsKyle Higginson (Ballyclare Meth) defeated David Mulholland (Coleraine Baptist) 4:11, 11:4. 11:9, 11:9Jordon Hood (Academy Aztecs) defeated Stuart Heron (Ballyclare Methodist) 11:4, 11:8, 11:6Christopher McGookin (Ballyclare Meth) defeated Connor Young (Ballyclare Meth) 11:6, 8:11, 11:7, 11:8Tom Alexander (Academy Aztecs) defeated Peter Neeson (Academy Aztecs) 11:13, 13:11, 11:8, 8:11, 11:8Semi finalsKyle Higginson (Ballyclare Meth) defeated Jordon Hood (Academy Aztecs) 8:11, 11:9, 11:7, and 11:7Tom Alexander (Academy Aztecs) defeated Christopher McGookin (Ballyclare Meth) 11:5, 11:9, 11:9FinalKyle Higginson (Ballyclare Meth) defeated Tom Alexander (Academy Aztecs) 11:5, 11:6, 9:11, and 11:5.

The Chairman gave a verbal report on the past season, and thanked the outgoing League Committee members by name for their work during the year.     5   Secretary’s ReportMike handed a 6 page written report to each member present. Everyone was asked to quickly read this report. Secretary briefly summarised the contents, thanking office bearers, clubs and players, highlighting team and individual achievements during the season, and thanking Newtownabbey Borough Council for continuing to sponsor by £330 the County Antrim tournament in January for each of the past 3 years. The meeting accepted this report.6   Treasurer’s Report Mike handed a double-sided Balance Sheet and Income & Expenditure account to each member present. This incorporated current and previous year’s accounts for comparison, and 3 explanatory notes of main Income sources and Expenditure areas. The surplus for 2008/9 was £422.78, compared to £76.61 in 2007/8. Chairman pointed out that these accounts had been audited by Mark Clements, showed a healthy balance, and asked if members had any questions. The meeting accepted this report.  7.     Election of Office Bearers/Officers/Management CommitteeThis was deferred by Chairman by one Agenda item, to allow the meeting to vote on proposed rule changes. 8.      Motions received in due time, for proposed changes to RulesSecretary had listed 4 proposed rule changes on a single page, which he distributed to all. Chairman asked the proposer/joint proposer to speak to each submission, and then presented his own, or asked the committee to discuss a, counter argument against each proposal.Two different changes to rule 8.11 were discussed.Voting was 7/3 in favour of proposal 3, to enter ‘team players in any order’ instead of in ‘order of merit’.This will result in a revised rule 8.11.Voting was 3/7 against proposal 1, to keep the existing ‘order of merit’ principle, and add penalties for each breach of this rule.Proposal 2 to replace ‘order of merit’ with ‘in any order’ in rule 8.1 was withdrawn by joint proposers Brian Orr and Norman McBride.Norman McBride’s proposal 4 regarding rule 8.10 was discussed at length, with ultimately an amendment (points awarded 5 for a win, 3 for a draw, 1 for a loss) voted on first. The amendment failed 3/5, with 2 abstaining. The substantive proposal (3,2,1) was carried 6/1 with 3 abstaining, after deleting the optional win bonus point and adding a clause for count-back on total games won in the event of a tie in total points.This will result in a revised rule 8.10. The meeting returned to Agenda item 7. 7.     Election of Office Bearers/Officers/Management CommitteeThe Chairman indicated that after 4 years he no longer wished to be Chairman, and the meeting agreed that he conduct the election of office bearers.After considerable proposals and refusals to accept some posts, the final position with conditions of acceptance (if any), ( proposer, seconder), and unanimous committee agreement was:  Chairman: David Nicholl, (Mike Maguire, Harry Ferson).

He was almost immobile, and posed a potential hazard to himself and others, if he had to play a doubles game. A proposal was that his Ballyclare Methodists team use a 5th player for the doubles only. Andrew Foreman or the team captain was asked to obtain agreement from the opposing team if this circumstance arose, in a 4X4 match. The Committee expected that all clubs/teams acting in the spirit of the game would co-operate with this reasonable request. There were no further items raised under AOB. 13.   Date and venue for next meeting After being asked if members would offer a different venue for the next League meeting, the meeting agreed that the next meeting should be scheduled for Wednesday 21 October 2009 at GWMSC.The Chairman closed the meeting at 10.00pm.
