Autumn Handicap

29 October, 2018

On 29 October, 2018 Alfie Sutherland won the Autumn Handicap, beating Mick Molyneaux in the final. This is a new competition, so in winning Alfie is the first winner of the trophy dedicated in memory of a stalwart of Jersey Table Tennis -  the late Ed Le Quesne, MBE.

A busy hall saw 24 players take part, with a range of players from all the divisions of the Investec League and a few social only players. Each player received a handicap based on either their league form or their social playing standard. The aim of a handicap tournament is to give anyone a chance of winning and to have some very close games.

The quarter finals saw a good mixture of the divisions represented, which saw Peter Hinds from Division 2 reaching the semis at the expense of Hannah Silcock from Division 3 and Jon Webster from Division 3 winning through against Jeff Vincent. Jon had a close game with Division 1's Alfie Sutherland in the semi as did Mick Molyneaux with Peter Hinds.

All proceeds raised were donated to CHRISTIAN AID, a charity that Ed spent many an hour raising funds for.

The Magicball Cup

25 September, 2018

This was a new competition in memory of Geoff Reed and took place at the Geoff Reed Table Tennis Centre (GRTTC). All donations went to EYECAN (formerly the Jersey Blind Society).

Last night, Eugene ‘Yogi’ Ellis rolled back the years to win the inaugural Magicball Cup by defeating Tyler Gosselin 3-0 (14-12, 11-6, 11-8) in the final. The Magicball Cup a new competition held by the Jersey Table Tennis Association in memory of the late Geoff Reed as a curtain raiser for the new season. Why Magicball? Firstly Geoff already has a table tennis centre named after him thanks to his generosity in securing the premises at FB Fields and secondly, Magicball was the theme tune for the 1997 World Table Tennis Championships held in Manchester and was a favourite of Geoff’s. The nature of the competition was competitive but friendly, with players of all ages and abilities from across the Association drawn into 9 groups with the winner and runner up from each advancing to the knockout rounds.

The competition was quite open with Liliana Andrade, Kathryn and Hannah Silcock leading the way for the junior girls into the knockout rounds, Hannah narrowly missing out on the opportunity for a place in the quarter finals. The quarter finals saw Martin Tupper edge past Mick Molyneuax to secure a semi final berth against Tyler Gosselin who overcame Chris Pursley. In the bottom half of the draw the Association’s new President, Paul Routier MBE, missed out against Jack Mills for a place in the semis against Yogi who beat David Le Clercq in his quarter final. Tyler won his semifinal to set up a final against Yogi. It was almost as if it were scripted for Yogi to reach the final of the Magicball Cup as Geoff had been his coach, mentor and friend, with Yogi having won numerous Island and Channel Island titles over the years at both junior and senior level with Geoff in his corner coaching him. Despite the fine efforts of Tyler, nothing was going to stand between Yogi winning the trophy, with all present recognising the symbolic nature of Yogi’s win and a fitting way to start our new season. The Investec League starts on 1 October 2018.

Ferenc Karsai: Summer Camp

22-24 July, 2019

World Champion coach, FERENC KARSAI, was in Jersey this week running a table tennis summer camp at the Geoff Reed Table Tennis Centre. As part of the European Table Tennis Union (‘ETTU’) outreach to affiliate members, Ferenc delivered a programme to the Island’s juniors (age 11-17), introducing dozens of new exercise routines and multi-ball sessions to the group and individual technical sessions.  Amongst other accolades, Ferenc has produced a world champion (Werner Schlager in 2003), 6 European champions and was coach for the winning Europe team vs the Asia team in 2009 and 2012. He is the current national coach to the Belgian team and was previously Canadian coach and for 18 years the Austrian national coach.

For 2 evenings Ferenc gave presentations to the local JTTA coaching team, focussing on (1) multi-ball and (2) practice routines and footwork for all standard of players. He was particularly keen on multi-ball as a means of carrying out ‘bespoke’ training for individual players and exercises to improve footwork.

Head coach, Martin Tupper, said “The JTTA really enjoyed hosting a coach of the calibre and experience of Ferenc Karsai in Jersey. He was a 'big hit' with both our juniors and coaching team. Living on an island it is difficult for our coaches to gain access to continued professional development in table tennis coaching so we appreciated the support given to us by the ETTU. What we all learned from Ferenc will go a long way to shaping our coaching programmes and practice routines for the juniors in the future and improve the standard of coaching across the JTTA.”
