The Downs bat their way to Table Tennis title

Congratulations to The Downs, who will be representing Harlow at next month’s County Finals, having won this afternoon's event.

With 9 teams booked on, the event was more manageable than the previous year and the 8 tables were needed. Thanks to Neil Brierley from BATTS who supported the today's event so well; it was great to see the children thoroughly engaged in this sport - they really made excellent progress throughout the afternoon.

The teams were split into 3 intial groups, before being re-pooled for the final stages. The final standing were as follows:

Group 1

The Downs C – 6 points

Cooks Spinney A – 4 points

Cooks Spinney B – 2 points

Group 2

Fawbert and Barnard A – 6 points

The Downs B – 4 points

St Lukes – 2 points

Group 3

The Downs A – 6 points

St Albans – 4 points

Fawbert and Barnard B – 2 points

Thanks to all the adults for their support in umpiring and ensuring that the children were in place to play - this all helped ensure a smooth afternoon, considering the number of teams and the nature of the activity. Special thanks to Gill Pardoe and Sam Hammond for running the event in David’s absence (Church Langley sports afternoon). A great job everyone.
