The leading teams all scored convincing victories in the first division of the Central Essex Summer Table Tennis League and the leaders Rayne retained pole position after beating Selax 4-1.

Rayne's Andrew McEwan, in his first appearance of the summer, featured in the best battle of the evening as he beat Keith Spicer 9-11,14-12, 18-16 11-7.

However, McEwan found Gary Ward to be a different proposition, and he missed out 5-11, 10-12, 7-11 against his hard-hitting opponent.

Hullbridge Fat Boys are in second place and they also won 4-1, beating Danbury A.

Danbury's Dave Calleja made his mark, recording a fine 11-9, 11-7, 7-11, 11-5 victory over Nigel Lamb.

The match between Ramsden Raiders and OCs also produced a 4-1 result as Ramsden called the shots.

Nat Ravlic was OCs winner and he excelled as he beat John Parodi 11-7, 10-12, 13-11, 11-13, 11-6.

In a week of clear-cut winners Danbury A (Eric Green and Tony Forster) made no mistake as they beat Danbury B 5-0.

ECC A's 5-0 victory over ECC B sees them jump into second place in division two, but, having played a game more than the leaders Excalibur Musketeers top honours look to be beyond them.

County Junior stars Holly Stubbings and Bradley Hudgell were both undefeated.

Leaders Chelmsford B recorded their fourth win of the summer against Danbury C in division three, but, it was a hard fought 3-2 affair, after Danbury's David Hancox had excelled, beating both Barry Pritchard and Frank Neill.

They were more convincing 4-1 winners against Elmtree Graphics with Pritchard winning both of his singles on this occasion.

Phil Smith was Elmtree's sole winner and he came through a hard-fought game to beat Robin Armstrong 7-11, 12-10, 11-9, 3-11, 11-8.

Fambridge moved into contention by beating Excalibur Internationals 5-0, a result that may have flattered them slightly.

Three games were decided in the fifth end and Fambridge won all of them.

Peter Mynard's 11-5, 11-5, 9-11, 4-11, 13-11 victory against Michael Rostoft looks to have been the pick of the action.

ECC C took a step closer to the division four title, by beating South Woodham Ferrers 4-1.

ECC's Richard Storey won both of his singles whilst South Woodham's Graham Briggs made his presence felt as he beat Colin Barham 11-7, 8-11, 11-9, 4-11, 11-9.

Further down the table OCs C scored their first win of the season - a 3-2 success against Chelmsford D.

David Porter dominated the action, remaining undefeated in both singles and doubles.
