WE’RE BACK Another year kicks off, and it’s going to be a big one. The practice nights were well attended and introduced quite a few new faces to the club. We are already underway with our Summer season, and it’s great to see the hall full of happy, competitive people enjoying themselves. Over the next few months we can hopefully unveil some new initiatives around the club. Stay tuned for news to come. PRESENTATION NIGHT A ROARING SUCCESS What a great night we had at our 2018 Presentation Night. Good food, marvellous music, great atmosphere, wonderful friends, and over 100 trophies going to nearly 60 very deserving winners. Our club band, Ping Pong had everyone entertained with some great music all night long. Many thanks to Simon Reich, John Batty and Josh Dias for playing some great tunes all through the night. And how lucky we were to have Olympian, Paralympian, and Commonwealth Games Gold Medalist, Melissa Tapper as our guest speaker. Milly certainly entertained and inspired us all with her story, and was very generous with her time, talking to members and posing for quite a lot of selfies. But the star of the night was the magnificent cake made by Andy Stewart.

  • Traumfinale Bei German Open 2017 in Magdeburg
    13.11.2017 - Frank Löper Traumfinale bei German Open 2017 in Magdeburg Da sage einer, Magdeburg kann nur Handball und Fußball! Die 12.500 Zuschauer, die an den Finaltagen der German Open im Tischtennis vom 10.bis 12. November in die GETEC-Arena der Landeshauptstadt strömten, beweisen das Gegenteil. Dass es die beiden besten deutschen Spieler, Timo Boll und Dimitrij Ovtcharov, bis ins Finale schafften, war dabei natürlich hilfreich. Am Sonntag sahen die 4.500 Finalzuschauer ein bis zuletzt spannendes Endspiel der beiden Deutschen. Mit 9:11, 11:5, 11:9, 6:11, 11:7, 7:11 sowie 11:6 setzte sich Dimitrij Ovtcharov am Ende durch und wiederholte damit seinen Finalsieg von vor drei Wochen beim World Cup in Lüttich. Für den 29-jährigen Ovtcharov war es in diesem Jahr der insgesamt vierte Titel auf der World Tour. Im Jahr 2014 hatte die Nummer drei der Weltrangliste ebenfalls in der GETEC-Arena triumphiert. „In Magdeburg spiele ich besonders gut. Am besten findet jedes Turnier hier statt.“ Beim Unterlegenen Timo Boll hielt sich die Enttäuschung in Grenzen. „Dimitrij war im passiven Spiel einen Tick besser.“ Nach der Begegnung stellte der vierfache German Open-Gewinner, zuletzt holte sich Boll im Jahr 2009 den Titel in Bremen, fest: „Wir schweben alle auf einer Welle. Es ist schön, wenn zwei Deutsche das Welt-Tischtennis dominieren.“ Bei den Frauen gab es in Magdeburg ein rein chinesiches Duell. Sieben Sätze lang duellierten sich Zhu Yuling und Chen Meng im Einzel-Finale. Trotz eines zwischenzeitlichen 1:3-Satzrückstandes setzte sich am Ende die an Position zwei gesetzte Chen gegen Topfavoritin Zhu durch.
