Table Tennis v 4th Glengormley
06/03/2008
(National Competition, Irish Semi Final)
Knocknamuckley travelled up to Glengormley for the semi final of the National table tennis competition, to take on the Belfast Battalion Champions.
In the first round of matches Andrew Poole and Stephen Russell both won their games, with Pooley winning 3-1, while Russell beat his man 3-0. Gregg Harrison lost a tight game, going down in the deciding set.
1st Round 4th Glengormley 1 v 2 1st Knocknamuckley
The second lot of games saw Harrison recover well with a 3-0 win, while Russell won his second game, squeezing past the Glengormley player who had beat Harrison in the previous round of matches, 3-2. Andrew Poole also won, again, by a score of 3-1. This meant that Knocknamuckley had reached 5 points, and no matter what happened in the last round of games would progress to the final.
2nd Round 4th Glengormley 1 v 5 1st Knocknamuckley
In the final matches of the tie, Stephen Russell made it a clean sweep, with his third win of the night, winning 3-0. Gregg Harrison beat his opponent 3-0, while Andrew Poole lost his first of the evening, going down 3-0 to Glengormley's only points scorer of the night.
Final Result 4th Glengormley 2 v 7 1st Knocknamuckley
This was an excellent, and very convincing win, and Knocknamuckley will now contest the Irish Final of the table tennis, and complete a remarkable run which see's the company in four Irish Finals this year, to date.
Team: Harrison, Poole, Russell.
