Poland Dominates Harlow Super League

That sporting and popular figure Filip Szymanski is still the only winner of a Superleague title this season ,having taken his second title with a minimum amount of fuss. Only Lorestas Trumpauskas in the final was able to take a game from him It's frightening to think how much our Polish visitor has in hand because he seems able to produce a winning shot in almost any situation.

Trumpauskas is getting close to his very best form. This time he beat Shuying in 3 very tight games in the semi final having lost to her last time out. Mention must be made of Euan Liddle who put in perhaps his best ever Superleague showing succumbing only 11-9 in the fifth in the quarters to the giant Lithuanian. Another player to really catch the eye was the likeable Chris Doran who had an unbelievable win over Hubert Noah before losing a quarter final full of long entertaining rallies to Shuying.

Another player to shine on debut was Sarra Wang who had an absolutely superb win over Matthew Spero in round 1. She then played well in losing to Shuying and lost only 9 in the fifth to Jimmy Walsh. Costas Papantoniou had another tremendous Superleague beating Neil Charles (who finished third last time out) before losing a tight match to John Holland. John found our Polish winner too strong in the semi-final but is bound to get sharper as the season goes on. Best of the non-seeded players was Aaron Fennell who started with a fine win over defensive Liu Meihan and included wins over Zoltan Hosszu and John Dennison to gain a remarkable 11th place finish.

The next SUPERLEAGUE meeting is on Tuesday 6th November and the registration email will be sent out on 23rd October.
