Avonside’s victory
The young but experienced Avonside trio, John Richards, Mark Clasper and Simeon Cairns, won the South Island A grade teams’ table tennis championship at the week-end. Although the Avonside team was beaten by Linwood in the last round, it still managed to win by a point from Linwood and Riccarton I. The inconsistent play of the Dixon brothers, Richard and Steven, proved costly for Linwood in earlier matches. Final A grade points were: Avonside I 6, Riccarton I 5, Linwood I 5, Avonside II 4, Riccarton H 4, Shirley-St Albans W.M.C. 2, Avonside HI 1, Linwood IT 1.
In the B grade, Avonside I beat Dallington, 3-1, in the final. The winning team was G. W. Ripley, P. Wright and S. Thompson. Avonside IT beat Avonside in, 3-1, in the final of the lower grades tournament. N. Brown, D. Caldwell and K. Blacklock proved the successful side.
