THE all conquering Rayne team of Ian Whiteside, Andrew McEwan, Steve Elmes, Steve Pennell and Steve Kerns scored an impressive 27 points out of a possible 30 to become runaway winners of the Central Essex Summer Table Tennis League first division.

Hullbridge Fat Boys - with 20 points - were a clear second and they finished their campaign in style by bearing OCs A 4-1.

Richard Brown won both of his games whilst the hard-hitting Steve Northcott was on target for OCs as he scored a fine five game win over Nigel Lamb.

OCs A completed their season by beating Danbury B 3-2, their second win of the Season.

Danbury's Herbie Smith made his mark by beating Steve Northcott 9-11, 9-11, 11-8, 11-5, 11-6 but Robbie Burton's two singles victories ensured that OCs shaded the match. Bottom side Danbury B also came close to beating SELAX in a match where Norman Smith excelled by getting the better of Gary Ward after five very hard fought games : 10-12, 12-10, 10-12, 11-9, 11-8. SELAX shaded the match 3-2.

Excalibur Musketeers with 22 points out of 30 and a 100 % record of six wins finished as comfortable Division two winners.

OCs B with 18 points just missed out on second place to ECC A despite beating ECC B 3-2 in their last game.

The two teams finished with identical records (18 points, four victories and two defeats) but it was ECC A who finished in second place by virtue of having beaten OCs B 3-2 in their second week clash.

The much-improved Nat Ravlic had another great night against ECC B beating both John Wickens and Peter Layzell.
