Urban Progress II struggle at Ashford (Day 2)

The second day of the South and West division 2 round 1 weekend was no better for Urban Progress II than day 1. Losing both Zoli and Csaba to the first team, two juniors were drafted in to support the old veterans Roger Pyle and Chris Ogle. Chris was playing at No.1, Roger at 2, with the Juniors playing lower down the order with a hope they might pick up some wins.

The first match was against Horsham where we narrowly lost 5-3, the two juniors picking up all three games with some great performance from both Pritesh and Antony. Roger narrowly lost to Peter Bartram after leading 2-1 and 7-3 up in the fourth set. The second match saw us outgunned 8-0 by a strong Ashford side. Some footage of the Horsham match below :-

Urban Progress II struggle at Ashford

The weekend of the 5th / 6th of September saw the start of the 2009/10 Table Tennis season with the first round of the British League. In Division two South and West the second team played at Ashford. Due to injuries and also players being away out of the country we had a weakened side out on both days. On the Saturday we went down 6-2 to York Garden and 5-3 to Horsham. A strong performance by player / coach Zoli Hosszu winning 4 out of 4, brave performances by Csaba Balint and Roger Pyle but all of us a bit off the boil. Roger was playing his first competitive matches for 24 years at this level, and Csaba who has only been playing for just over 18 months put in a superb performance only narrowly losing out on a couple of occasions. Below is footage of the first days play...
