Sue’s Serve A Winner For Jan Meng Memorial

Sue Philp’s serve of the day won the honours in the Jan Meng Memorial Doubles tournament at the Mackay Table Tennis Centre.

Sue teamed with Steve Mathieson to win over Branko Vucurovic and Kim Daffy in straight games, but you could say she had a bit of luck.

Her final serve was going long, but just touched the edge to give victory 9, 8, 8.

Roy Murray and Helen Ware won the consolation final over Bryan Marshall and David Butler 1, -10, 4, 10.

The popular event is held annually in memory of the late Jan Meng, who was a long-time organizer of the Tuesday morning table tennis fixtures.

The Avril Hodges Memorial Trophy annual Tuesday morning championships was played last Tuesday, September 13.
