A Fabulous day was had at Graham Spicer’s in New Malden on Saturday 23rd April in aid of Table Tennis for Ukraine. £3000 has been raised so far and that doesn’t include the items to be auctioned.

​

People came from as far as Bristol. Thanks goes to all the entrants and all the people who donated. As well as Tees Sport and Bribar for donating the vouchers for the winners, ttheart.co.uk for donating 2 shirts and all the food, Table Tennis England for donating a Centenary Book to be auctioned and Charles Ho, Tin-Tin Ho’s father for donating 2 private coaching sessions of 2 hours each to be auctioned.

Vadzim Antonau won the tournament with the Runner-up being Ollie Maric-Murray. In the semi-finals Vadzim beat Jarek Chrzanowski 3-1 and Ollie beat Dave Tiplady 3-1. Jarek won the 3rd place play-off.

The Consolation event was won by Enhno Oh who played Ujwal Walk in the final which ended 14-12 in the fifth set. Dave Rowell came 3rd.
