Here is a short report from the first SuperLeague event held at Corby Smash Table Tennis Centre. Some high calibre players entered ensuring a great evening of table tennis.
Ryan Smashes All!
Ryan Jenkins, Welsh senior table tennis international aged 39, deservedly took the inaugural Corby Smash Butterfly Superleague title and the £250 prize money. The Welshman, rated at No.5 on the Table Tennis England rating list took the title beating England No. 7 Chris Doran in a fantastic high quality final at the brand new Corby Smash Table Tennis Centre, avenging his London Grand Prix defeat from just two weeks earlier. Ryan was imperious throughout the evening with 3rd placed Adam Nutlandthe only man to take an end off the currentGrand Prix Champion in the semi final.
The quality of the field was amazing with England no.11 Michael O'Driscoll in 4th place. 5th place went to AdeoyeAdewale with local Northamptonshire star and England No.17 Alex Ramsden in 6th, AlimHirji(7th) and IsmailaAkinyidethe 5th seed finishing in 8th. It was great to see our lovely new Corby Smash Table Tennis Centre buzzing with fantastic matches on all eight tables and we would like to thank all 32 players for supporting our first table tennis England Ranking Event and it was great to see Ryan and Chris staying after the late finish to give some of our young spectators some practice.
